ADHD stimulant prescriptions in Ontario rose 157% from 2015 to 2023, driven by increased awareness and virtual care, especially among women and young adults.
A 157% increase in new ADHD stimulant prescriptions in Ontario from 2015 to 2023 has been reported, with a sharp rise beginning in 2020.
The surge is particularly pronounced among women and adults aged 18 to 44, including girls aged 10 to 14, who saw prescription rates surpass those of males in some age groups.
Experts attribute the trend to greater awareness, pandemic-related shifts in healthcare access, and the growth of virtual clinics, though concerns remain about overdiagnosis and potential side effects.
