Variations in Dispensing Psychotropic Drugs to Adolescents Depending on School Periods: A French Nationwide Retrospective Study. Saint-Dizier, C., Betremieux, J., Chazard, E., Bubrovszky, M., & Lamer, A. Studies in Health Technology and Informatics, 316:1632–1636, August, 2024. doi abstract bibtex Seasonality patterns are reported for various psychiatric disorders. Concerning adolescents, there is an increased frequency of general emergency department visits for mental health disorders observed between March and May, as well as in October and November. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the French health insurance medico-administrative database. We extracted psychotropic drug deliveries occurring between 2015 and 2019 for patients aged between 12 and 18 years old. Each drug delivery was classified as occurring during a school period (Sc), the summer holidays (SumH) or other shorter holidays periods (ShH). We compared the number of distinct patients, as well as the proportion of new consumers, according to week status. Anxiolytics and hypnotics were more frequently dispensed during the school periods and short breaks than during the summer holidays. Conversely, antidepressants were more commonly dispensed during the short breaks rather than school periods and summer holidays. The stressful effects induced by schooling appear to be addressed in the first line by anxiolytics and hypnotics, while antidepressants are more frequently introduced during school holidays.
