The analysis looks at mortality rates for Government Office Regions and Wales and Strategic Health Authorities in England. Mortality rates were also considered in relation to antidepressant prescribing and deprivation. Throughout England and Wales, mortality rates due to antidepressant poisoning varied by area (Government Office Region and Strategic Health Authority), and were positively associated with area deprivation.
