ADHD Big Pharma Lobbyist and Advertising... looking for resources

Reaching out to anybody who might point me to resources about ADHD and the money behind the increased diagnosis.

I've heard that there has been a steady climb since 1997 when direct to consumer medicine advertising became legal. Any info about this and big pharma's advertising campaigns related to ADHD and lobbying efforts ....?

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

That should definitely be looked into, too. Before all those increased diagnosis with all the meds and treatments as a result, it may be that people didn't live as long. But, it sure is fishy, isn't it? There has to be a connection.
