Evolution of methylphenidate prescriptions in the region of Occitanie, France, from 2013 to 2021
Our data are consistent with the results observed at the national level, namely an increase in methylphenidate prescriptions of around 12% per year. Similar results are observed in countries using methylphenidate with initially low prescription rates. The level of prescription reached in Occitanie remains significantly lower than that of comparable Occidental countries, with significant territorial disparities.
