In clinical practice, Dr. Lenard Adler, director of the Adult ADHD Program at NYU Langone Health, said he’s been hearing similar accounts from his own patients.

“There is no large database here,” Adler, a psychiatrist, told The Post. “But I follow a couple hundred adults with ADHD, and anecdotally, I have seen a number of patients that have reported feeling better in terms of their ADHD symptoms when they went on GLP-1s.”
