Before Londi Gamedze was diagnosed with ADHD during the first year of her Ph.D. program, she remembers feeling overwhelmed by the workload, and wondering to herself: “How are we supposed to do this?” Then she was prescribed Ritalin, a stimulant that helps treat ADHD symptoms. “It was a complete revelation,” Gamedze said. “It improved the quality of my life and my capacity to actually be a student.” But on Oct. 31, 2025, Gamedze received a notification from the University Health Services Pharmacy that it could not provide her with her Ritalin prescription due to “ordering and stock issues.”
