I assume there's an over-diagnosis because the abuse of these drugs is both blatant and widespread.
Look at the infographic and you'll see that there is a very wide variance between states. NY and Iowa just two examples. If you have a medical condition that affects broad swaths of society and is being diagnosed so inconsistently that you have these huge variances, something is wrong.
If doctors stopped supplying prescriptions to people who want speed, as opposed to people who need to treat a recognized medical condition, there would be no supply problem.
