Objective To evaluate consumption antidepressants anxiolytics from 2012 to 2022 pandemic’s potential impact France. Methods We conducted an interrupted time series analysis routine drug sales data (Medic'AM) all French outpatient pharmacies 2022. investigated trends defined daily doses sold per 1000 inhabitants (DDD/TID) related expenditures before after pandemic onset relation with stringency mitigation measures. Analyses were performed descriptively using segmented linear regression, autoregressive integrated moving average models. Findings From 2019, overall monthly antidepressant (+0.02 DDD/TID) while anxiolytic decreased (−0.07 DDD/TID). With onset, there was a relevant persisting trend increase (+0.20 DDD/TID month) for overall, estimated excess 112.6 May 2020 until December Anxiolytic elevated February throughout but returned expected levels by 2022, 33.8 DDD/TID. There no evident association between or sales. Conclusions This study showed protracted increases temporary. Clinical implications provide evidence that may had long-lasting consequences on treatment depression disorders, requiring further actions researchers policy-makers address this public mental health crisis.

Abstract Since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, there have been concerns over mental health impact COVID-19. This is a review utilization antidepressants, anxiolytics, and hypnotics since pandemic was declared on March 11th 2020. A number reports so far based large prescription databases for administrative use at national or regional level, but mainly in high-income countries. We found studies reporting increased rates during 2020, which has interpreted as hoarding such medications. In following months, most antidepressant did not display clear pattern change compared with prepandemic trends. later phases small increases higher than predicted rates, consistent finding, especially youth. countries, were increasing trends antidepressants also before needs to be considered when estimating whereas anxiolytics hypnotics, patterns prescriptions more varying. Overall, after 2020 we could find any distinct changes pandemic. Most contain information about prevalence indicated psychiatric disorders studied populations. More are needed long-term effects COVID-19, particularly regarding antidepressants. Research relating major depression anxiety would promote better understanding how well reflect population.

Immigrants younger, socioeconomically deprived, entered study an admission. This focused through evaluation hospitalizations, accesses, use, drug prescriptions. We also evaluated inequalities census-based migration status. Finally, we analyzed infection outcome cohort.

We performed an interrupted time-series (ITS) analysis examine changes medically attended before during pandemic. then divided into nine cohorts based year studied their initial ongoing patterns until end applied generalized linear modeling compare rates diagnosis between newly diagnosed A separate ITS explored prevalent Results found immediate increase (RR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.10–1.33, p < 0.001) population after began non-significant slope change, suggesting a sustained effect Subgroup showed that increases were significant adults older population, not adolescents. Depression used 11% fewer resources than pre-pandemic first year. Pre-existing also had decrease 16% overall all-cause since pandemic, positive change indicating gradual rebound over 3-year period.
