Listen ""The Great ADHD Drug Drought: Britain's Hidden Mental Health Emergency""
Episode Synopsis
Britain's ADHD community is in crisis as a catastrophic shortage of medications like Ritalin leaves 275,000 patients struggling to access their essential prescriptions.
This nationwide emergency extends beyond ADHD, affecting over half a million mental health patients who depend on vital medications for conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Through powerful testimonies from medical experts, educators, and affected families, we reveal why this shortage isn't just about missing medications – it's about missing lives.
