Objective We aim to investigate the inpatient status of patients with mental disorders who had been discharged from psychiatric hospitals in 2016 in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and through this, to provide theoretical basis for further improving the security system for patients with mental disorders in this region.
Method: A two-phased stratified sampling method was used to collect data from selected hospitals.
Results: A total of 1646 cases with valid data were obtained. The most common mental diseases were schizophrenia and bipolar disorder; atypical antipsychotic drugs played a dominant role (95.78%) among various antipsychotics, with risperidone being the most frequently used drug.
Conclusion: We need to further improve the management of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as well as the hospital-community integration mode. Standardized training of residents and further education for clinicians should be enhanced to improve doctors’ clinical skills and promote drug prescribing in a scientific, rational and standardized manner.
