Insurers' cost-cutting affecting ADHD, depression med use

Private health plans are increasing copays for their subscribers to manage

drug costs, and the move is affecting how some people take prescribed

for such conditions as depression and attention-deficit/hyperactivity

disorder. Because these treatments are often newer and more expensive, many

patients pinched by higher copays are not taking the medications or are

relying on older, less effective meds. (EurekAlert!) UPDATED 2007-03-06
