A USA TODAY analysis of Medicaid data for the 60 most used psychiatric drugs showed a growing number of people sought mental health treatment and medication during the pandemic as it pushed people into isolation and dismantled support systems.
The analysis also revealed a lingering effect of the pandemic: Mental health-related prescriptions rose further in 2022, up 12% from 2019, outpacing the less than 1% growth in overall prescriptions. That includes prescriptions for generic Zoloft, the most common antidepressant medication, which rose 17% over the same period.
More than half of these drugs saw an increase in prescriptions since 2019, and the steepest increase was among ADHD drugs: Concerta and generic Adderall.
Even before the pandemic, the use of mental health drugs was on the rise due to more affordable medication options and broadening acceptance of mental health treatment. That increase accelerated as the pandemic deepened the country’s mental health crisis following widespread loss and adversity.
Well, we’re poor, the world we knew is dead, rich people rape the world, sudo-“fascists” are dominant, entertainment media is just marketed shit, food is shitty/cancer, we fuck over other people’s lives to live this shitty life, Epstein didn’t kill himself, careers are bought not built from education, education is marketed is sold for profits, the churches sucks money from hopeless people instead of building spirituality…and the beat goes on.
Sudo-fascist???
I think you mean pseudo-fascist
Pseudo - From Late Middle English meaning “Not Genuine”
Sudo - From Linux Command Line meaning “Superuser Do”
That would be quite the sudo command! Haha
This incident has been reported.
sudo fascistLinux:
Lmao sudo pacman -syu
Sorry…
I like some russian roulette each night before I go to sleep:
$ yay -Syu --noconfirm
Well, the fascists are in charge, so sudo fascist would be accurate.
Preach. This is a symptom of a world rapidly going to shit. But hey, we have AI to accelerate the direction we are heading.
🎶We’re spitting off the edge of the world🎶
If they only worked as advertised…
If this country spent as much time, money and effort correcting conditions that create despair as they do medicating or otherwise distracting us from the conditions of despair, we’d be the healthiest, happiest, most productive and prosperous nation fur centuries, with profit fur ourselves and global neighbors.
