Meanwhile, SGAs like quetiapine and olanzapine surged, dominating treatment regimens by 2017. Antidepressants, despite limited evidence for efficacy in bipolar depression, were prescribed to over 60% of patients with depressive episodes. Lithium-treated patients received more medications overall (mean 5 vs. 4.75 drugs), suggesting complex cases or reluctance to prioritise lithium monotherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Why are these trends worrying?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Lithium\u2019s unique benefits<\/strong>: Guidelines recommend lithium for its mood-stabilising, anti-suicidal, and neuroprotective effects. Its decline risks losing these benefits, particularly for high-risk patients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Antipsychotic risks<\/strong>: SGAs like quetiapine and olanzapine, while effective, carry metabolic side effects. Their long-term safety in bipolar management remains debated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Antidepressant overuse<\/strong>: High antidepressant prescriptions contradict guidelines warning of manic switches, especially without mood stabilisers like lithium.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Differences between lithium and non-lithium groups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Lithium patients<\/strong> received more thyroid medications (21% vs. 16%), likely due to lithium\u2019s side effects, but fewer anticonvulsants (16% vs. 38%).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Non-lithium patients<\/strong> had higher rates of valproate (38%) and quetiapine (33%) use, alongside more antihypertensives and gastrointestinal drugs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Implications for clinicians and policymakers<\/strong><br>The study underscores a troubling disconnect between evidence-based guidelines and real-world practice. Factors driving lithium\u2019s decline may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Perceived safety concerns and intensive monitoring requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Marketing and ease of prescribing SGAs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Misconceptions about lithium\u2019s tolerability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Calls to action<\/strong><br>Researchers urge initiatives to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Promote lithium\u2019s unique advantages through clinician education.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Reduce inappropriate antidepressant use in bipolar depression.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Address polypharmacy risks, particularly in lithium-treated patients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><br>As SGAs reshape bipolar treatment, this study highlights the need to reconcile clinical practice with guidelines. Prioritising lithium where appropriate and curbing antidepressant overuse could improve patient outcomes.
