ORiginal meThodology for Assessing the Impact of the Coronavirus Health Crisis on Psychotropic Drug Use

Plain-language summary

The health crisis linked to the coronavirus has had a significant impact on the mental health. The question of the repercussion of this crisis on the consumption of psychotropic drugs is crucial. It is all the more true in France, which was already among the countries with the highest consumption of psychotropic drugs before the crisis. Indeed, an increase in the number of reimbursements for anxiolytic, hypnotic and antidepressant drugs has been highlighted in the context of the health crisis, using data from the health insurance database. To enhance the understanding about the impacts of the health crisis on the use of psychotropic drugs, it is essential to characterize the evolution of the use at the individual level. The main objective is to assess the impact of the coronavirus-related health crisis on the consumption of psychotropic drugs by studying the trajectories of reimbursements. The secondary objective of the project is to evaluate the evolution of problematic consumption of psychotropic drugs in the context of the health crisis.
