RESUMO

Background: The introduction of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) represented a breakthrough in depression treatment due to their safety and ease of use. The purpose of this study was to extend previous work on trends in antidepressant use to include recent data and to provide more detailed analysis of prescribing trends for SSRIs and newer non-SSRI antidepressants, specifically in adult primary care practice.
