Relevance Score
Researchers at the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University analyzed all internet-based psychiatric prescriptions from November 2020 through December 2023 to assess pandemic phase associations with prescription counts, patient demographics, diagnoses, and pharmacy audit metrics. They found prescriptions rose significantly during the pandemic phase but stabilized postpandemic; female and 18–40 age groups predominated; depressive disorder and quetiapine were most common, and audit times shifted from ≤5 minutes to 1–12 hours.
