By Neha MathurNov 6 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent article published in BMJ Mental Health, researchers determined seasonal patterns in primary care antidepressant prescribing and consultations for mental health issues in adolescents and young adults living in England, United Kingdom .
About the study In the present study, researchers retrieved anonymized primary care electronic health records of over 38.6 million adolescents and young adults seeking treatment from general practices across the UK between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2019 to examine when they were first prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or sought consultation for depression or anxiety or tried to self-harm. Each SSRI, including citalopram, sertraline, or fluoxetine, was separately examined.
The researchers then described the number and proportion of individuals with a first record of any mental health outcome during the study period to calculate incidence rates per 1000 person-years, stratified by age and sex. The incidence rates of depression in participants aged 14–18 years declined during January-August, then surged again, peaking in November. Conversely, these rates were highest in January and decreased until December after a brief surge around August for participants aged 19–23 and 24–28 years.
