 The study found that selective licensing had a positive impact on mental health outcomes, such as reducing antidepressant prescriptions and mental health benefit receipts, as well as decreasing the number of people who reported having depression.

Additionally, there was no significant change in self-reported anxiety levels. This article was authored by Emily Caughton, Stephen Cummins, Laura Cornelsen, and others.
