I'm reporting on what my son's psychiatrist told us at the same time as she wrote my son's final prescription as a minor. She knew about it because she was a child psychiatrist in a system where that policy change was made.
She also told us that, BECAUSE that policy change had been made, it was no longer automatic to have a childhood diagnosis follow you into adulthood. She then walked us through the documentation that we needed to get so that my son's long-standing diagnosis actually would transfer into adulthood.
I wound up having to fill that prescription twice. Both times I personally experienced the shortage.
You might be right that there are factors other than increased demand. But demand definitely has increased. And I have no reason to doubt the psychiatrist.
