Europe's mental health crisis: Which country uses the most antidepressants?


The world is grappling with a mental health crisis. In Europe, antidepressant consumption has more than doubled in the last 20 years.

Global consumption of antidepressant drugs (AD) has increased dramatically in the last two decades, with Europeans the largest consumers.

Use of antidepressants increased by nearly two and a half times from 2000 to 2020 in 18 European countries, according to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data.
