PhD student at University of Gothenburg. Interested in radical parties (mostly left) and parliamentary activities.
Focusing on Sweden, this study finds that PhD students begin their programs with similar psychiatric medication use as other master’s graduates, but usage rises sharply to about 40 percent higher by the fifth year before declining after graduation.

Sexism and the Gender Gap in Support for the Radical Right
