Thank you very much for presenting! I find your paper about medication cultures across USA very fascinating.
In figure 3d, there is a clear pattern that antipsychotic medication usage is higher in the North and West. One possible reason for this pattern that is mentioned in the paper was that wealth is related to increased diagnosis of psychosis/mental health issues. I am wondering if there are other reasons behind the pattern? Such as insurance policy.
