Psychotropic use in children and adolescents in Scandinavia and Catalonia: a 10-year population-based study.

Rationale: The use of psychotropic drugs in the paediatric population has not been the subject of many studies, due to the fact that this population is generally not included in clinical trials and these drugs are not authorized for use on minors.

Objectives: This study aims to provide an accurate description of psychotropic drug use in children and adolescents in the North of Europe and Catalonia.

Methods: Data from 2008 to 2017 on psychotropic drug consumption in children and adolescents were retrieved from the databases of Catalonia, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
