Demand for psychotropic drugs rises, says study

HAVANA, Cuba - January 12 (Leonel Alberto Pérez Belette / www.cubanet.org) - The demand for psychotropic drugs has increased in Cuba, according to a recent report to the Center for Mental Health and Hygiene.

The report described an across-the-board increase in prescriptions to treat anxiety, depression, and ailments such as high blood pressure.

The report was based on an internal study for the Center, to which an activist with the Cuban Liberal Movement said he had been given access by a source he didn't care to name.
