nyc parents medication/doc?

[Home1818]

My 7(almost 8yo) is diagnosed with ADHD, social anxiety and dyslexia. We are having a difficult time getting his medications right. I am curious if there are any parents on here in the nyc area who have worked with the Child Mind Institute ?And if so, what was your experience? Or if anyone knows of any psychiatrists in the area who are really great with meds?

I have! We lived in Manhattan for several years and move outside to LI 2 years ago. I would be happy to share our experience with CMI. I can send you a private email.

Hello, Home818,

Thank you for contacting CHADD's National Resource Center on ADHD. I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time finding your child’s medication. There is a nation storage on ADHD medication, it has been very difficult for many these past months. Hopefully, the medication storage gets resolved soon. In the meantime, make sure to be in touch with your medical provider and you may need to discuss alternative medications during the shortage. Here are a few resources to help you.
