COVID-19 interrupted delivery of mental health care in the US. During the initial course of the COVID-19 pandemic new starts of antidepressants declined by 7.5 percent, anxiolytics by 5.6 percent, and antipsychotics by 2.6 percent compared with expected levels. Our findings suggest that there is large unmet need for mental health treatment in the US due to COVID-19.
