Treatment Patterns for Incident Bipolar Disorder Among Nonrefugee Immigrants, Refugees, Second‐Generation Immigrants, and Host Population in Sweden
Immigrants, especially refugees, are at risk of not receiving adequate treatment following BD diagnosis, putatively owing to a lack of transcultural competence in healthcare, economic restraints, and community factors. Antidepressant monotherapy should be reduced, while recommended options such as mood stabilizers and specifically lithium should be considered more often.
