This definitely seems like the more likely explanation. There certainly is a mental/emotional hell you go through in academia, but with this y-axis being specifically about psychiatric medication… all I’m seeing is that grad students like/need Adderall.

Yeah my thought looking at this is that it’s my understanding that you basically need an extended hypomanic state to complete a PhD and if you’re not making that much dopamine at home, store bought is fine.
