Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus Among Patients Treated With Atypical and Conventional Antipsychotics

Prevalence and Incidence of Diabetes Mellitus Among Patients Treated With Atypical and Conventional Antipsychotics

This pilot study hypothesizes that diagnosed and undiagnosed prevalence of diabetes mellitus may differ across antipsychotioc medications in a community mental health center. The study further hypothesizes that control of diabetes among diagnosed cases may be suboptimal.

Study of longitudinal incidence proved impractical within the limitations of the project.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients treated with antipsychotic medication at a community mental health center
