| Abstract: | 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. |
