Bipolar disorder (BD) is predominantly treated with medication, and previous studies have shown that psychotropic drugs have an effect on the neuroendocrine system. And the objectives of this study were: 1) to assess changes in neuroendocrine hormones of HPA axis and HPT axis in patients with BD after psychotropic drug treatment; 2) to determine differences in the above neuroendocrine hormones between psychotropic drug monotherapy and polytherapy treated patients.
