1 of 5 psychiatric drug overuse is cited by federal study 

Federal investigators have said that there is a common widespread overuse of medications by older Americans with Alzheimers disease. They recommended that all physicians take action against over prescribing and unnecessary prescribing.  This overuse has especially been seen in patients of nursing homes. And they are trying to take action against this. This article related to another class I'm taking. In human phys we saw that the most unnecessary prescriptions are related to cold and flu. And I thought this article sort of went along with that.
