In the May 6^th Issue of the Australia and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, Malhi et al. published a Reflection¹ asserting that the use of the term paediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) should be abandoned. Referencing unreplicated studies and dated citations, the authors incorrectly infer from administrative database studies that rates of bipolar disorder diagnoses are rising among youth, critically missing that the number of visits with a bipolar diagnosis increased markedly, not necessarily the number of children with the diagnosis.

儿科双相情感障碍的证据基础还不足以为临床实践提供信息吗？

在 5 月 6^日的澳大利亚和新西兰精神病学杂志上，Malhi 等人。发表了一篇反思¹，断言应该放弃使用儿童双相情感障碍 (PBD) 一词。参考未重复的研究和过时的引文，作者错误地从行政数据库研究中推断出青少年双相情感障碍诊断率正在上升，严重忽略了双相情感障碍诊断的访问次数显着增加，而不一定是诊断的儿童数量。
