Nearly 1 in 5 Americans filled a prescription for a mental health condition during the pandemic By: Newsy Staff and last updated 2021-05-19 16:39:14-04 There’s no such thing as a magic pill. During the pandemic, nearly 65 million people that’s one in five Americans have filled prescription medication to help with a mental health condition. Experts note it can take some fine-tuning before getting on a medicinal regime that works for a person.

But the medication is going to address the biological aspects of those disorders, Dr. Erlanger Turner, an assistant professor of psychology at Pepperdine University and the author of Mental Health Among African Americans: Innovations in Research and Practice, told Newsy.

Other people are really tired of it, said Dr. Eric French, medical director of adult psychiatry, Medical Center of Aurora in Colorado. We have been isolated from the people that we care about. We have extra responsibilities for those of us who are parenting or who have aging parents, said Dr. Flavia Desouza, a board-certified psychiatrist and assistant professor at Howard University.
