Trends in Receipt of Mental Health Treatments Among Adults in the United States, 2008–2013

Abstract

The prevalence of receiving psychotropic medications without inpatient or outpatient treatment increased among the overall adult population, baby boomers with MI, and Generation X with MI between 2008 and 2013. With the ongoing mental health parity and health reform efforts, further studies are warranted to monitor trends in mental health treatment in these populations.
