Nationwide Time Trends of Psychiatric Inpatient Medications for Children and Adolescents in Finland from 2000 to 2018
Medication use increased vastly between 2000 and 2018, but levelled off between 2011 and 2018. Explanations include changes in clinical practices, the surface of new medications, increased awareness of neuropsychiatric disorders, and the replacement of benzodiazepines. More information on the long-term effects of increased use of antipsychotics and multi-medication is warranted.
