Journal of Psychiatric Research Aug 2023We examined the income gradient changes in the use of long-term rehabilitative psychotherapy and psychotropic drug purchases in men and women during a 9-year follow-up.
OBJECTIVE
We examined the income gradient changes in the use of long-term rehabilitative psychotherapy and psychotropic drug purchases in men and women during a 9-year follow-up.
METHODS
We used register data from a random sample of the working-age population (18-64 years) with information on annual income, psychotherapy use and psychotropic drug purchases from 2011 to 2019 (N = 736 613, 49.7% women). Sex-stratified generalized estimating equations logistic regression models with predicted marginal probabilities were used to examine change in the treatment use rates over time for income quartiles.
RESULTS
Treatment rates increased during the follow-up, with men having lower rates than women. There were no significant differences in psychotherapy use rates between the income quartiles during the follow-up in men. A small income gradient in women (the wealthiest group with the highest use rate) remained stable throughout the follow-up. As for psychotropic drug purchases, the rates increased more among the poorest income quartile compared to the wealthiest quartile in both men and women. In the last year of the follow-up, the initial income gradient (wealthiest group having the highest psychotropic drug purchase rate) had become reversed, and the poorest group had the highest psychotropic drug purchase rate.
CONCLUSION
In psychotherapy use, no income gradient was found in men, while a stable income gradient was found in women. Psychotropic drug purchases have previously been more common in the wealthiest groups, but more recently among the poorest. The findings indicate that gender and income have distinct relationships with the treatment modality over time.

Comparative Study
This study examined the 92 suicides investigated by the Medical Examiner's Office in Rhode Island between 1975 and 1982, in which either tranquilizers or antidepressant drugs were present in the body fluids or tissues of the deceased. We found that traumatic suicides were more prevalent among the tranquilizer victims and that tranquilizers were combined more often with alcohol and other drugs. While the antidepressants were obtained by prescription more often than the tranquilizers, the latter were prescribed by a wider variety of doctors. More antidepressant than tranquilizer suicide victims had a history of psychiatric hospitalization and had previously attempted suicide or spoken of it prior to their death. Our findings also seem to indicate that the antidepressant victims took more time and effort in both contemplating and planning their suicides.
