Abstract(s)
Anxiety disorders have been described as
features of Bipolar Disorder (BD), and Obsessive-
compulsive-bipolar disorder (OCBD)
may occur in as many as 56% of obsessive-
compulsive patients. Mania in Obsessive-
Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can occur
either as an independent comorbidity or as
a result of an antidepressant-induced switch.
We report the case of a 38-year-old male with
a 3 year diagnosis of OCD treated with antidepressants,
admitted due to a manic episode,
and describe diagnostic and treatment
challenges of this comorbidity.
