The recognition of bipolar disorder in primary careNick Stafford
Bipolar disorder and the complexities of screening and diagnosis in primary care. How more accurate detection and an integrated care pathway with secondary care can improve the diagnosis and outcome of the treatment of the disorder.
Mental illness impacts significantly on relationships. Here we examine the dynamic between mental disorder and relationships by reviewing attachment theory, and using bipolar disorder and schizophrenia as examples to explore the issues. Lecture given to Relate Leicester, August 2013.
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

4. Specialist services NICE 2006
DoH Guidelines 2007
• All trusts should provide:
– Specialist Mental Health Services
– Access to specialist advice from designated
experienced clinicians
– Referral on to tertiary services
• This has been provided with the Mood
Disorders clinic and provides other benefits
5. Allan Young, Tony Hale, Heinz Grunze, Daniel Smith, Francesc Colom, Nick Stafford
7. The Leicester Model
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A model easily replicated in other adult services
Within a generic CMHT setting
Set up when NWW introduced to LPT
Not commissioned
Within existing time and financial resources
No changes to job plan
Not academic
No research or service development grants (yet)
8. Specialists within specialisms
• What does it mean?
• Increasingly differentiated with medical progress
• In psychiatry
– A need for generalists and specialists
– ADHD, ASD, EDS, CFS / PIER, AOT / CAMHS, MHSOP
• Medicine and surgery
– The norm in all areas
9. Pros and Cons of a Bipolar Clinic
Pros
• Reduce readmissions
• Increase patient satisfaction
• Better continuity of care
• Improved education and
research
• Lower cost
Cons
•
•
•
•
•
Not always more effective
Fragmentation of care
Tertiary setting distance
Gaps in overall care
Could focus less on functional
outcomes
• Need for greater peer support
and expertise
12. Who?
• Patients with
– Bipolar Disorder
– Recurrent depressive disorder
– Depression not responding to treatment >6/12
• This services is yet to be started
• Comorbidity is not an exclusion
• Anyone in adult services (and some MHSOP)
13. Why?
• Specialist clinics work
• They make working life interesting
• Patient satisfaction is high
• Complex phenotype with high external validity
• Requires broad knowledge of
– Psychopathology, Neuropsychology
– (Poly) Psychopharmacology, Psychotherapy
• Better continuity of care
• Improved education and research in the team
• Develop the use of non-medical prescribers
16. The philosophy of the pathway design
Apply what is known
Nothing new
Simple
appliance
of science
Don’t be clever
A model that can be
applied anywhere
Engineer the parts
Feedback to clinicians
17. The diagnosis of bipolar disorder
COMPLEX
DISORDER
COMPLEX
SERVICES
18. Where bipolar is missed
Each element is complex and requires its own solutions
Public
knowledge
Primary
care
CAPTURE MISSED BIPOLAR
PREVENT UNDERDIAGNOSIS
Secondary
psychiatric
care
Other
specialist
care
IMPROVE DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY
PREVENT OVERDIAGNOSIS
This isn’t possible by just focusing on one element
or designed just by psychiatrists
19. Primary care red flags
Presenting complaint:
• Breast lump
• Blood on toilet paper
• Facial weakness
• Depression
Could it be:
• Breast cancer?
• Bowel cancer?
• CVA?
• Bipolar
disorder?
20. The goal in primary care
“If a GP sees Depressive Disorder they
should have a reflex consideration of
bipolar disorder every time and ask
relevant questions to probe for it”
• How do we make this happen?
21. Practical solutions in primary care
Education for
everyone
Screening tool –
choice, is it
used?
Always be alert
(as with cancer)
Asking just a
few questions
can be effective
Low level of
suspicion
Collateral
history from
someone close
22. Educating Primary Care
Bipolar Disorder
Guidance on recognition in
Primary Care
A pragmatic review and brief
management commentary
Daniel Dietsch, Nick Stafford, Daniel Mann,
Daniel Smith, Carolyn Chew-Graham
23. Primary care education in Leicester
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Face to face large group seminars (50+)
RCGP meetings
Individual practice seminars (3-15)
All Primary HCPs invited (not just GPs)
Learn and discuss the diagnosis of bipolar
Complex case examples
How to make it work in their practice
– Bespoke to their needs
24. Primary care screening options
• Ask more questions
– But which? (e.g. BRIDGE)
• Collateral history encouraged
• EMIS / Systm1 alerts
– Surprisingly less popular with GPs
• Formal screen HCL-32
– How useful is it in practice?
– Frequency of use
• MDQ preferable?
25. If GP refers to the Clinic
• Standard GP letter (no forms to fill in)
• HCL-32 if appropriate, not mandatory
– MDQ if preferred
•
•
•
•
Option to use the Mental Health Facilitator
Patient educated about possible bipolar
Leaflets given (pre- and post-diagnosis)
Mood diary before OPC appointment
26. Specialised Bipolar Clinic Model
New
assessments
Follow ups
MDT
Tertiary service
Group and
individual BPE
27. Preparing the clinic setting
• Reducing the outpatient clinic load
• 720 caseload to 250
• Caseload percentages
– New referrals
– Existing mood disorders
– 30% total caseload managed in specialised clinic
• Initially half day/week (first 18 months)
• Now one day a week
• Preparing additional specialist depression clinic
28. Utilizing existing resources (caseload)
• There are enough cases of bipolar in a CMHT
caseload to stream them through a single
weekly clinic
– Bipolar = 25%
• We are now beginning to do the same with
more difficult to treat depression cases
– Depression = 30-40%
30. Staff (depression), (provisional)
• 2 Consultant general adult psychiatrists
• 2 Consultant psychiatrist psychotherapists CBT
• ST4 psychiatrist & GP trainee
• Non-medical prescribers (two)
• Improve initial care pathway
• Specialize difficult to treat cases
• Overlap with bipolar clinic
