How is that defined for a start? How is it measured?
I can have ADHD if I want amphetamine, the people diagnosing it and prescribing the drugs have obvious incentives to do so. That's the reason for the shortage in the first place. Same as with the earlier opioid epidemic. Should we presume that suddenly there was a massive increase in pain patients - or was it rather an increase in prescriptions?
