What is the Preferred Drug List (PDL) status of mental health medications?
In accordance with Indiana law, all antianxiety, antidepressant, antipsychotic, and “cross indicated” drugs are considered as being preferred. Drugs that are (1) classified in a central nervous system drug category or classification (according to Drug Facts and Comparisons) created after March 12, 2002, and (2) prescribed for the treatment of a mental illness (as defined by the most recent publication of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) are also considered as being preferred.
