AB  - Introduction. The metabolic syndrome is a relatively new concept still being 
      debated in the US and Europe; little is known about how it is factored into 
      psychiatric treatment decisions. Method. Practicing psychiatrists in the US 
      (n=500) and five European countries (UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain; n=718) 
      participated in brief online surveys in 2005 and 2006. Results. US psychiatrists 
      were more likely than EU psychiatrists surveyed to view metabolic syndrome as a 
      significant health risk; US respondents reported significantly more bipolar 
      patients who were overweight or obese, but similar percentages of bipolar 
      patients who met criteria for the metabolic syndrome. More US than EU 
      psychiatrists reported monitoring metabolic parameters before and during 
      treatment, and generally were more concerned about bipolar medication adverse 
      effects (AEs). Significantly more US psychiatrists indicated that they were 
      extremely or very concerned about weight gain as an AE. Conclusions. For most 
      surveyed US and EU psychiatrists, metabolic health is an important concern in the 
      treatment of bipolar disorder. US psychiatrists reported more often monitoring 
      metabolic parameters and adjusting treatment if abnormalities become evident, but 
      practices are evolving in the US and EU.
