    Psychopathologies themselves are already a problem, the excessive use of antidepressants, anxiolytics and sedatives / hypnotics is even more serious, therefore the present work aimed to describe the patterns of use of anxiolytics and antidepressants in patients treated at the VidSalud pharmacy in the Ate Vitarte district in a sample attended during the period from October 2021 to April 2022. Method: For this, a data collection form was applied from the prescription and patient care in the pharmacy. It was found that the psychotropic drugs most used by patients are alprazolam 35.4% and clonazepam 32.6%, followed by sertraline 19.3%. The prescription doses are conservative and do not differ much between the patients surveyed. The specialty of the prescriber issuing the prescription exceeds the professional capacity to prescribe them with a full balance of their side effects and efficacy for the conditions treated. The duration of treatment with psychotropic drugs in the patients evaluated ranges from 1 week to 10 months. The class of psychotropic drugs used is equally balanced for anxiolytics and antidepressants. The psychopathologies associated with the prescription of psychotropic drugs are anxiety and depression in their clinical and subclinical forms, followed by insomnia. It is concluded that, given a scenario in which the use of psychotropic drugs for anxiety, depression, and other psychopathologies is increasing, and that given the possibility of side effects associated with the type of psychotropic drug and the duration of treatment, the abuse of prescribing outside the relevant medical specialty and patient abuse should be carefully reviewed.
