Bipolar disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder comorbidity: Three case reports

K. Semra Karataş, Jülide Güler, Aytül Hariri.

Abstract
Comorbidity in bipolar disorder has been described as the co-occurrence of nonaffective DSM-III-R Axis I disorders or serious medical illnesses in bipolar patients. Almost all axis I and/or axis II disorders may co-occur with bipolar disorder. The most common ones are substance use disorders, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and borderline personality disorder. Few studies estimated the prevalence of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) comorbidity with bipolar disorder (BD). Some case reports and treatment trials suggested that OCD might be seen comorbidly in patients with BD. Here we have reported three female cases of BD, who have had accompaniying OCD and discussed reciprocal interactions of the symptoms, illness courses, and treatments of both conditions.

Key words: bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, comorbidity, depression, mania
