I actually wonder if it's the opposite, to some extent? Giving you a prescription that costs 300$ for three cents of pill is a great way to make money, and mental health, being on a spectrum, can be diagnosed easily.

There's probably some class difference, too. I'd expect extreme over-diagnosis (especially for the cool diagnoses that get you Xanax) among the wealthy with under-diagnosis among the poor.
