Figure 2:

Figure A, B, and C depict trends over time in the average annual estimates (survey weighted) and proportion of visits in which a psychotropic medication was administered: specifically, any psychotropic medication (A), benzodiazepines (B), and antipsychotics (C). Figure D depicts trends in the number and proportion of visits in which any psychotropic medication was prescribed upon discharge. There were no statistically significant differences between time periods.
