CDC report shows a surge in Americans with ADHD.

Many are reporting difficulty in accessing care, including long waits for evaluations, missed diagnoses, and struggles to find medications.

Experts say part of the problem is that the criteria for diagnosing ADHD were developed for boys.

Inattentive symptoms often present very differently in adults and females.

Dr. Harsh Trivedi , CEO of Sheppard Pratt suggests that patients check if their insurance includes a mail-away plan and contact the manufacturer.

"Sometimes there are ways to access the medicine directly from the manufacturer, or they can tell you where supplies may exist".
