Telehealth Prescription Propelling the Adderall Drug Market

The rising demand of Adderall drug market can be attributed to telehealth prescriptions of controlled substances like Adderall and Ritalin by online mental health care startups that were established during the pandemic and were permitted to do so by the US Drug Enforcement Agency.

Global Scenario for Adderall

Globally, ADHD is estimated to be affecting about 5% of children and teenagers. Due to the lack of standardised diagnostic criteria, adult ADHD appears to be overlooked in epidemiology. One of the most commonly given stimulants, along with Adderall are Ritalin and Concerta.

Cognitive and memory enhancer medications, supplements, and other substances are claimed to boost cognitive function in healthy persons, notably executive functions, attention, memory, creativity, or motivation. These medications comprise a variety of compounds that can boost cognitive performance and can increase or retain memory, stimulate learning, or prevent cognitive decline or dementia.

ADHD diagnosis can differ on the basis of age group and gender. Based on age group, the average age of ADHD diagnosis in children in the United States is about seven years, there is an increase of about two times in the cases of ADHD over the past ten years. The first signs and symptoms of ADHD are typically expected to appear between the age group of 3-6 years.

About 4% of adult Americans are dealing with ADHD symptoms on daily basis. Based on gender, the male population is about 3 times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than the female population.

Adderall Market Trends

The market is also rising with the rapid increase in the senior population, which is more vulnerable to neurological illnesses, such as Alzheimer's. Increased usage of cognitive medicines due to benefits, such as improved physical and mental performance, drives the market growth further. However, ethical concerns about the use of such pharmaceuticals can limit the market growth.
