Reading overdue·Data to 2025

Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

OECD Health Statistics. The image ranks the highest and lowest countries; the data table has all of them. A defined daily dose is the WHO’s standard adult daily dose, so the bar is how many people in every thousand could be treated each day. Latest years differ by country, and some countries count only drugs dispensed outside hospitals. The United States does not report to this table.

How much antidepressant medication each OECD country dispenses for its population size. The gap between the top and the bottom is several-fold, and it reflects diagnosis, access to care and prescribing habits as much as how common depression is.
