LOZANO SERRANO, Carolina e ORTIZ LOBO, Alberto. The rising antidepressant prescribing: A too expensive panacea?. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2004, n.90, pp.83-96. ISSN 2340-2733.
We study the rise of antidepressants prescribing and the cost increase in a health area in Madrid. We use the National Health System prescriptions from primary care and from specialities during 1999-2001. We analise the consequencies on economy (direct and indirect cost) and on health (temporary disability in the same time and in the same population because of mental disorders). We discuss also some social consequencies.
Palavras-chave : Antidepressants; prescription; cost; temporary disability.
