Parents in the USA- there is now an executive order investigating the threat of stimulant medication for children

Here is the EO: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/establishing-the-presidents-make-america-healthy-again-commission/

They are coming after all these medications for children, including stimulants …. They will “assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs”

This is in conflict with what’s on the current FDA website(saving this for when it gets taken down/changed): Left untreated, ADHD can have serious consequences. A child may fall behind in school, encounter difficulties in friendships, and have conflicts with parents, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Studies show that children with untreated ADHD have more emergency room visits and are more likely to have self-inflicted injuries than those treated for the disorder. Untreated adolescents (children ages 10 to 18) with ADHD are more likely to take risks – such as drinking and driving – and have twice as many motor vehicle accidents as those who are treated.

Edit: It’s so hard feeling powerless over this situation. But we can make some phone calls. If we all make calls to our representatives and senators we could put pressure on them over this: https://5calls.org/
