Remission of Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms in Hypomanic Period in a Patient with Comorbid Bipolar Affective Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A Case Report
Bipolar affektif bozukluk ve obsesif kompulsif bozukluğun genel nüfustaki yaygınlık oranları göz önüne alındığında iki sendromun birlikteliğinin nadir olması beklenebilir. Ancak çalışmalar obsesif kompulsif bozukluğun hem depresif bozuklukla (%50) hem de bipolar affektif bozuklukla (%10) birlikteliğinin yüksek oranlarda görüldüğünü ortaya koymuştur. Bipolar bozuklukta en sık görülen anksiyete bozukluğunun obsesif kompulsif bozukluk olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu durum, hastalığın kliniğini değiştirerek tanınmasını güçleştirmekte, prognozu ve tedaviye yanıtı olumsuz olarak etkileyebilmektedir. Obsesif kompulsif bozukluk ve bipolar affektif bozukluk birlikteliğinin fenomenolojik özelliklerinin netleştirilmesi etyolojisini aydınlatma ve tedavi yaklaşımı açısından önemlidir. Biz de bu yazıda bipolar affektif bozukluk ve obsesif kompulsif bozukluk eş tanılı bir olguda hipomanik dönemlerde obsesif kompulsif belirtilerinin düzelmesinin fizyopatolojik önemini tartıştık
Bipolar Affektif Bozukluk ve Obsesif Kompulsif Bozukluk Eştanılı Bir Olguda Hipomanik Dönemlerde Obsesif-Kompulsif Belirtilerin Düzelmesi: Bir Olgu Sunumu
Given the prevalence rates of obsessive compulsive disorder and the bipolar affective disorders in the general population, one would expect the co-occurrence of these syndromes to be rare. Yet, findings have revealed extremely high rates of comorbidity in obsessive compulsive disorder with both depressive disorders (50%) and bipolar disorder (10%) and shown that obsessive compulsive disorder is the most common anxiety disorder in patients with bipolar disorder. This situation makes it difficult to recognize the changing clinical disease and prognosis while response to treatment can also be adversely affected. Clarifying the phenomenological features of obsessive compulsive disorder-bipolar affective disorder comorbidity has important etiological and treatment implications. In this article, we discuss the pathophysiological importance of the improvement of obsessive compulsive symptoms during hypomanic episodes in a bipolar disorder patient, who had comorbid obsessive-compulsive disorder
