| Description: | IntroductionSeveral psychiatric disorders and medications used to treat them appear to be independently associated with skeletal deficits. As there is increasing evidence that lithium possesses skeletal protective properties, we aimed to investigate the association between lithium use and bone health in a group of women with bipolar disorder.MethodWomen with bipolar disorder (n = 117, 20+ years) were recruited from south‐eastern Australia. Bipolar disorder was confirmed using a clinical interview (SCID‐I/NP).
