Why is there a shortage of ADHD drugs?

What is the root cause of the shortage and what is being done to address them? Is it a regulation problem or an evil corporation problem?

It’s a manufacturing issue mixed with a significant increase in demand. Supply will normalise over the next 3 months.

Note that it is only really affecting lisdexamfetamine and not other alternatives.

Edit: Not sure why I’m getting downvoted, but here is formal information on the shortage and restoration timelines – [https://www.tga.gov.au/vyvanse-shortage](https://www.tga.gov.au/vyvanse-shortage)

At least in Australia there is no shortage of other ADHD medication than Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)
