Bipolar disorder in primary care: a qualitative study of clinician and patient experiences with diagnosis and treatment
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2019
Publication Place: England
Abstract: Objective: To understand primary care patients' and clinicians' experiences with diagnosis and treatment of patients with bipolar disorder in primary care. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using thematic content analysis of individual interviews with nine primary care clinicians and six patients from Federally Qualified Health Centers to understand their experiences with the diagnosis and treatment of bipolar disorder. Results: Themes of bipolar disorder detection, referral to specialty mental health care and medication treatment emerged from individual interviews with primary care patients and clinicians. Clinicians and patients faced challenges deciding to continue with care in primary care that is easier to access, but less intensive, than specialty care that can be harder to access but at times of higher quality. Conclusions: Potential next steps in research include identifying ways to support primary care clinicians in detection of patients with bipolar disorder, and strategies to support treatment of patients in primary care with easier access to specialty care including consultation in primary care or co-management with specialty care.

Bipolar disorder is common in depressed primary care patients
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2011
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence and treatment of typical and subsyndromal bipolar disorder (BD) in depressed primary care patients. METHODS: Patients with a diagnosis of a mood disorder being treated with antidepressants in 2 academic family practice clinics underwent a structured diagnostic interview (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Inventory) for manic and hypomanic symptoms. RESULTS: Of 58 patients evaluated, 19% met full criteria for bipolar I disorder and 8.6% for bipolar II disorder; 31% had subsyndromal BD (ie, persistent elation or irritability accompanied by additional symptoms of hypomania but not enough symptoms to meet full criteria for bipolar I or II disorder). Only 5 patients with BD were receiving mood stabilizers, which had not been instituted in any patient by the primary care physician. CONCLUSIONS: The high prevalence of patients meeting full criteria for BD and the low rate of identification of BD in primary care patients are consistent with estimates using self-administered questionnaires, but the interview revealed a substantial additional population that could be considered to have subsyndromal BD. Because subsyndromal forms of BD are associated with significant impairment and comorbidity as well as progression to frank BD, recognition of both full and subthreshold BD in primary care practice should be improved.

Body dysmorphic disorder: a guide for primary care physicians
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2002
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a preoccupation with an imagined or slight defect in appearance, is a relatively common psychiatric disorder that often presents to nonpsychiatric physicians. Body dysmorphic disorder is associated with marked impairment in functioning, notably poor quality of life, and a high suicide attempt rate. Most patients seek and receive surgery or nonpsychiatric medical or dermatologic treatment, often with a perceived poor outcome despite an objectively acceptable result. In contrast, psychiatric treatment, serotonin-reuptake inhibitors and cognitive-behavioral therapy, often are effective. This clinically focused review describes the clinical features and prevalence of BDD, the disorder's treatment response, how to recognize and diagnose BDD, and practical suggestions for primary care physicians who encounter these often difficult-to-treat patients.
