This graph is fascinating:
While the number of prescriptions for stimulants increased by 45% from 2012-2021, the number of prescriptions written by physicians did not change much during that time period. Almost the entirety of the increase in prescriptions for stimulants was driven by nurse practitioners, and a significant number went to women age 31-40. I have a few ideas why that is, but they're beyond the scope of this post. I think this is important because in the future there will be many more NP's. It's easy to see around the country, as physicians burn out or retire, they are replaced with several NP's. Absent unforeseen events, I expect all of these trends to continue. More NP's=more stimulant Rx's, with young women continuing to be the fastest growing demographic.
The whole report is short and worth the read. Some good bits in there.
