Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

I can’t work without my ADHD meds


Listen Later

The ADHD medication shortage is still not over – and promises made by the main manufacturer and the government to fix the problem by April are being questioned.

Drugs prescribed to help manage the condition – and one in particular, called Elvanse – have been in short supply since last year.

People who have ADHD – Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder – find it hard to focus on single tasks as a result.

Access All hears from people who are struggling to carry on working without the drugs they rely on.

The world’s shortest comedian – Tanyalee Davis – also drops in to talk about her new show.

The episode was made by Daniel Gordon with Niamh Hughes and Emma Tracey. The news editor is Alex Lewis.

Recorded by Dave O’Neill.
