The present study aimed to investigate the psychopharmacological treatment patterns in bipolar disorder over time, with a focus on antidepressant monotherapy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0924270815000526_abs2\" sec-type=\"general\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cohort study with annual cross-sectional assessment of the use of psychotropic medications between 1995 and 2012 for all Danish residents aged 10 years or older with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder registered in the Danish Psychiatric Central Research Register.

The proportion of patients treated with antidepressant monotherapy decreased from 20.5% in 1997 to 12.1% in 2012, and among antidepressant users, the proportion in monotherapy decreased from 47.7% to 23.9%, primarily driven by a decrease in the use of tricyclic antidepressants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0924270815000526_abs4\" sec-type=\"general\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results show an increase in the proportion of patients with bipolar disorder being treated with antidepressants in the period from 1997 to 2012.
