Abstract: We aimed to evaluate the practice patterns of US postgraduate year (PGY) levels 3 and 4 psychiatric residents in the treatment of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) types I and II. We also aimed to determine whether confidence in prescribing mood stabilizers is associated with residents’ practice patterns. The residency training directors of 182 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education–accredited US psychiatric residencies were solicited for study participation via e-mail.
Risk Factors Associated With Metabolic Syndrome in Bipolar and Schizophrenia Subjects Treated With Antipsychotics: The Role of Folate Pharmacogenetics
Abstract: Folate has been implicated in cardiovascular disease with atypical antipsychotic (AAPs) use, and individuals with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) variants are at greater risk. This study examined the relationship between the MTHFR 677C/T, MTHFR 1298A/C, and COMT Val158Met variants; metabolic syndrome; and lifestyle measures in schizophrenia and bipolar subjects. A total of 237 subjects with bipolar or schizophrenia receiving an antipsychotic for at least 6 months were included in this cross-sectional analysis.
