Rational self-medication

Economics & Human Biology
We develop a model of rational self-medication in which individuals use potentially dangerous or addictive substances (e.g., alcohol) to manage symptoms of illness (e.g., depression) outside of formal medical care. A model implication is that the emergence of better treatments reduces incentives to self-medicate.

Self-medication and safety

Bulletin de l'Académie Nationale de Médecine, 2007

They are generally well-tolerated, provided the recommended dose regimen is respected. Most adverse effects result from misuse (wrong indication, overdose, interactions, etc.).
