Bipolarity in a Collaborative Care Model Variation: Detection, Prevalence, and Outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS: Universal screening for bipolarity in primary care is feasible in CoCM programs. Interpreting the data dimensionally is logical on the basis of the smooth distribution of CIDI scores. Such screening will yield high rates of bipolar disorder, much higher than previously reported. Offering treatment recommendations based on an impression of bipolarity to patients with negative CIDI results (<7) was not associated with outcomes worse than experienced by all other consultation patients. Multiple explanations of the latter finding are possible, warranting additional study. PMID: 32966172 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
