According to Health Canada, mental illness is characterized by changes in an individual’s thinking, mood, or behaviour and is usually associated with significant distress or impaired functioning in social, occupational or other activities. This report provides an overview of trends in drug treatments for mental health disorders, dispensed in community pharmacies across Canada over a four-year period (2019 and the pandemic years of 2020, 2021, and 2022), and how these vary by province. The statistics and analysis featured in this report were sourced from the IQVIA Health Insights Dashboard, part of a collaboration with the IQVIA Advisory Board for the Advancement of Health, a group of thought leaders from various healthcare sectors.
