Lithium, the first\u2010line BD maintenance treatment, stabilizes mood, prevents suicide, and is well tolerated, yet its use has declined as long\u2010term second\u2010generation antipsychotics (SGAs) prescriptions increased. This study explores the prevalence, incidence, duration, prior and concurrent use of psychotropic medications, and dosage patterns of lithium dispensing in Dutch youth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective cohort study using the Dutch community pharmacy\u2010based IADB.nl database included 567 youths (6\u201325\u2009years), who were dispensed lithium between 2011 and 2022.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The yearly prevalence of lithium dispensing per 100,000 fluctuated between 30.3 in 2011 and 34.8 in 2022 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.40), with the lowest prevalence in 6\u201312\u2010year\u2010olds and highest in 20\u201325\u2010year\u2010olds.
