Sažetak
This is a study of the prevalence and impact of co-existing bipolar affective disorder on patients with OCD, and the effect on
their management within a community psychiatric team. We found that 16% of patients who visited psychiatric outpatients with a
diagnosis of OCD had co-existing bipolar affective disorder. Of these the majority had bipolar affective disorder II (67%). Comorbidity
raised a number of challenges to patient management. Compared to the control group the patients with co-morbid bipolar
affective disorder required a greater number of outpatients appointments, had a greater number of hospital admissions, were more
likely to have been allocated a care coordinator and to have received psychological input.
