From progress and follow-up notes from a psychiatric clinic in Puerto Rico.
One of the segments that the psychiatrist has to fill out is titled:
"Observaciones para uso con pacientes en PTAB".
The options listed under this section for the psychiatrist to check off include:
"Uso lícito de opiáceos y/o uso de otras drogas en curso.
Factores que pudiera comprometer la seguridad del paciente, abuso de alcohol y/o benzodiazepinas.
La toxicidad esta ausente.
Efectos adversos a medicamentos están ausentes.
El paciente maneja la medicación de forma responsable.
Utiliza medicamentos sin recetas, hierba, otros"

Psychiatric Bipolar Affective Disorder
I think the acronym stands for Psiquiatrico Trastorno Afectivo Bipolar. Does this fit with any other information you have about the patient?

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your input Carole! That makes sense but I'm not sure it quite fits with this particular form. Earlier in the form the psychiatrist responded to questions about the patient's behaviour, but this section is for observations. The phrase "pacientes *en* PTAB" gave me the impression that it might be referring to some sort of in-patient or out-patient treatment plan or group, rather than to a disorder. |

: Doesn't really look to me (having worked in the mental health field for years) like a standard term; you usually wouldn't find "psychiatric" in front of Bipolar Affective Disorder because it's understood, it's obvious that it's "psychiatric"

I agree that "psychiatric" seems superfluous, but sometimes MD's modify terms to suit themselves. At first I thought "P" might mean "Patient with" but decided against it.

: I agree with Joseph - I think the P sounds like a guess.

psychotherapy for BD
"Pacientes en PTAB" seems to indicate that they are on treatment or therapy, as you mention in your note to Carole.
If TAB is trastorno afectivo bipolar, then the standard abbreviation in English would simply be BD (bipolar disorder).
The options listed below the term don't really help because they are general tick-off options and may not apply at all.

However, I recommend asking your client about the abbreviation, or at least add a note to say you're not 100% certain what it means.
My two cents!
