Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed gender differences in the treatment of bipolar disorder using data from over 7,300 patients in Sweden from 2004 to 2011 to see how treatment varied based on gender.
- Women were treated more frequently with antidepressants, lamotrigine, electroconvulsive therapy, benzodiazepines, and psychotherapy, while men were more often prescribed lithium, with no gender differences in mood stabilizers or neuroleptics.
- The findings suggest that clinicians may make treatment decisions influenced by the patient's gender, rather than severity or subtype of the disorder, although the findings may not be applicable to inpatient care or other countries.
