title: [Case constitution and medication intention of bipolar disordered outpatients at two grade IIIa hospitals in Beijing].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To acquire the case constitution of bipolar disordered (BPD) in mood disordered (MD) outpatients at two local Beijing hospitals to understand the case constitution and medication intention of clinical psychiatrists in terms of differentiation and treatment of BPD.
  
  
  METHODS
  All psychiatrists at Anding Hospital and neurological physicians at Xuanwu Hospital were surveyed by self-rated questionnaires and the analysis focused on the composition of proportions of BPD cases out of MD patients. The items included estimated ratio of BPD cases, doctors' intention of drug prescription and clinical therapeutic regimen for treatment of BPD.
  
  
  RESULTS
  (1) BPD ratio in MD outpatients of two hospitals were 41.79% and 12.24% respectively; (2) Doctor's ratio who estimated BPD ratio in MD cases < 40% were 60% and 100% respectively; (3) 100% psychiatrists at Beijing Anding Hospital and 72.22% neurological physicians at Beijing Xuanwu Hospital prescribed antidepressant to BPD cases; (4) Doctor's ratio who adopted therapeutic schedule of 'antidepressant + mood stabilizer' or 'antidepressant + mood stabilizer + antipsychotic' agents for BPD were 100% and 66.67% respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Regardless of mental specialized hospital or general hospital, the physicians should pay great attention to the differentiation of BPD and the rationality of drug prescription.
