Swedish Health Inspectorate Bans Online ADHD Diagnostic Company
What happened
Legal actions have targeted entities involved in questionable Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessments and the promotion of stimulant drugs in Sweden and the United States. In Sweden, the Swedish Health and Social Care Inspectorate banned an online diagnostic company after determining there was a clear and serious risk to patients’ health, safety, and lives. An appellate court subsequently ordered the company closed.
