increases substantially. This upward trend continues throughout the course of PhD studies, with estimates showing a
40 percent increase by the fifth year compared to pre-PhD levels. After the fifth year, which represents the average duration of PhD studies in our sample, we observe a notable decrease in the utilization of psychiatric medication.
