We aim to close this research gap by analyzing age\u2010stratified use patterns of antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotics following an incident diagnosis of BD in Swedish\u2010born, second\u2010 and first\u2010generation nonrefugee immigrants, and refugees.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Individuals with incident BD between 2006 and 2018 were identified through Swedish national registers. Medication use was followed up until 5\u2009years after diagnosis. Use rates adjusted for sociodemographic and disease\u2010related covariates were computed with generalized estimation equations for each population group. Marginal means with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and significance tests for main and interaction effects of population group and time points are presented. Furthermore, significant effects of population group, age group, time point, and their interaction were tested by Type III joint test yielding <jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> values.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three months after diagnosis, estimated rates of lack of treatment differed significantly between population groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001) as Swedish\u2010born (17.3%, CI: 16.8\u201317.7) lacked disease\u2010specific treatment less often than second\u2010generation immigrants (21.1%, 19.7\u201322.5), first\u2010generation nonrefugee immigrants (23.1%, 21.3\u201325.0) and refugees (26.8%, 24.4\u201329.4). Antidepressant monotherapy was estimated in 17.7% (17.2\u201318.1) of Swedish\u2010born, 16.8% (15.5\u201318.3) of second\u2010generation immigrants, 17.7% (16.2\u201319.4) of first\u2010generation nonrefugee immigrants, and was most prevalent in refugees (20.3%, 18.2\u201322.7; population group <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0002). Mood stabilizers were most dispensed by Swedish\u2010born (51.3%, 50.6\u201351.9), followed by second\u2010generation (47.9%, 46.1\u201349.8) and first\u2010generation nonrefugee immigrants (44.5%, 42.4\u201346.7) and refugees (35.4%, 32.8\u201338.2; population group <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). Use rates of antipsychotics were similar between population groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05) and estimated at 14.1% (13.7\u201314.6) in Swedish\u2010born, 14.0% (12.8\u201315.3) in second\u2010generation, 13.0% in first\u2010generation nonrefugee immigrants (12.0\u201314.6), and 12.9% (11.1\u201315.0) in refugees. Following up significant interactions of population and age group, lithium use was estimated to be lower in refugees aged 36\u201365\u2009years (9.9%, 7.9\u201312.5; population group <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0008) and olanzapine use to be higher in refugees aged 16\u201335 (9.2%, 7.1\u201311.9; population group <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0002), respectively, compared to other population groups of the same age.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>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.
