Done Global executives are accused of continuing to improperly prescribe Adderall and other stimulants despite social media posts claiming patients had overdosed and died.

The supply of ADHD medications may be further disrupted after mental health company executives were arrested this week on allegations of improperly prescribing addictive stimulants like Adderall during the pandemic. The Justice Department announced Thursday that Ruthia He, the founder and CEO of Done Global Inc., and clinical president David Brody were arrested in California.

The CDC says the executives’ arrests and subsequent supply disruptions could impact between 30,000 and 50,000 adult patients in the U.S. Prosecutors say He and Brody continued to distribute drugs in this manner after knowing of social media posts that Done Global patients had overdosed and died.
