To describe trends dynamics of out-patient prescribing psychotropic medications during the in Netherlands. Dispensed medication prescriptions from March 2020 to 2022 were retrieved national registry data. Numbers total incident dispensed defined daily doses (DDDs) identified for six groups. Overall pandemic-related changes analysed using interrupted time-series analyses. Lockdown-related described monthly risk ratios. No overall detected, except alcohol addiction medication, which pre-pandemic decline DDDs levelled off pandemic: +10 per week (95% CI 7-11, P ≤ 0.001) +111 56-165, = 0.001).

Abstract Background The estimates of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) prevalence across various studies are significantly variable, contributing to uncertainty in ADHD estimation. Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses have attributed this variability primarily the methodological characteristics studies, including diagnostic criteria, source information, impairment requirement for diagnosis. Methods Review identified reporting representative samples children adults Europe worldwide. Studies that were conducted general population included. We focused on report based clinical diagnosis (clinical criteria Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders International Classification Diseases other tools, such as scales or interviews criteria). PubMed/Medline was searched identify relevant articles published until 2024/2/01. study registered PROSPERO (CRD42020200220) followed Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines review meta-analysis.

Objective: There have been consistent concerns about a greater impact of COVID-19 on the mental health younger people and females. We aimed to explore potential synergistic effect various pandemic-related stressors with age sex general Canadian household population during pandemic. Methods: Using cross-sectional data from Statistics Canada 2022 Mental Health Access Care Survey (MHACS), frequencies for major depressive episode (MDE), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), psychological distress, demographic factors were estimated. Odds ratios estimated using binary logistic regression models. These estimates used replicate bootstrapping procedure recommended by Canada. Finally, Relative Excess Risk due Interaction (RERI) models each outcome evaluate interactions stressor an additive scale. Results: Past-12-month MDE GAD, more prevalent in young Overall, confirmed be associated these outcomes. greater-than-additive between difficulty accessing healthcare, loneliness, physical problems, relationship challenges, work stress; severe illness loved one, stress, LGBTQ2+ status, marital job/income loss, financial difficulties.
