A related problem is that some contributing factors to the increased medical medical professionals appear to have a treatment of mental health disorders, such as disproportionate concern about the safety risks depression and anxiety, in the past two decades of addiction medications relative to medications has been the development and marketing of aimed at treating other medical conditions.
