New research from the Universities of Keele and Manchester has found that psychiatric diagnoses, psychotropic prescriptions, and health service use patterns are strong indicators of bipolar disorder.
The findings - published in the British Journal of General Practice - will allow doctors to carry out quicker referral, assessment, and treatment of the devastating condition which used to be known as manic depression.
The findings could help improve delays between the early manifestations of bipolar disease and its diagnosis and treatment, currently estimated to be around six years. They identified 2,366 people with a bipolar disorder diagnosis and 47,138 people without bipolar disorder in England. Better referrals for patients Professor Carolyn Chew-Graham OBE, Professor of General Practice Research at Keele University and member of the Bipolar UK Advisory group, said: "Better referral pathways from primary to specialist care are desperately needed both for patients and GPs, when a diagnosis of bipolar is suspected, if patient are to receive the timely help they need. 'Think bipolar' is a strong message to send out to GPs.
