Abstract

The bipolar spectrum of mood, in its broadest sense that includes all kinds of mood instability, presents various symptoms related to instability and mood swing, including symptoms and manifestations of "mixed states" (the symptoms of "mixity") and symptoms of eating disorders (ED). It is essential not to forget that depression itself is only "a phase" of the wider bipolar spectrum of mood, which therefore remains the pathology to be treated adequately with a polytherapy composed by mood regulators and antidepressants. "Mixed" symptoms (including symptoms of eating disorders), if not properly treated, can subtly enter the patient's life, leading to a worsening of the clinical picture to a clear chronicity.
