    Abstract Epidemiologic and neurobiologic evidence suggests that patients with comorbid obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and schizophrenia may represent a special category among patients with schizophrenia. Efforts to examine the neurobiology of this group have focused on neuroimaging studies and neuropsychologic testing. Convergent evidence suggests that there may be a specific pattern of neurobiologic dysfunction in this subgroup of patients accounting for symptom co-expression. This review indicates that future studies should distinguish among (1) apparent obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) that occur only in the context of psychosis and that may overlap with psychotic phenomenology, representing a forme fruste of psychosis; (2) OCS occurring only in the prodromal phase of schizophrenia; (3) neuroleptic-induced OCS or OCD; and (4) OCS or frank OCD occurring concurrently with schizophrenia. We examine the evidence for a putative schizo-obsessive disorder and outline suggestions for identifying OCS in the presence of psychosis.

    Abstract Background: Practitioners are increasingly presented with data procured from studies employing advanced neuroimaging techniques. The central role that neuroimaging occupies in contemporary psychiatric research highlights the need for practitioner familiarity with the neuroimaging technology and its clinical translation.
    Methods: We conducted a PubMed search of all English-language articles published between January 1964 - October 2005. The search words were major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), voxel-based morphometry (VBM), region of interest (ROI), blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD), glucose metabolism, blood flow, statistical parametric mapping (SPM), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI). The search was supplemented with a manual review of relevant references. The authors organize the review by addressing frequently asked questions on the topic of neuroimaging by mental healthcare providers.
    Results: The localization of regional brain volumetric abnormalities with CT is enhanced with MRI techniques that allow for a separate assay of white and gray matter pathology (segmentation), cellular metabolism (MRS), and neurocircuitry (DTI). Positron emission tomography permits the quantification of brain glucose metabolism, regional blood flow, and receptor/transporter localization and function. Rapid changes in regional oxygen consumption may also be quantified with fMRI.
    Conclusions: Neuroimaging technology has helped refine pathophysiological models of disease activity in mood disorders and illuminate mechanisms of drug activity. A priority research vista in mood disorders is the integration of neuroimaging investigations with other research methods (e.g., genetics, endocrinology, etc.).

  4. Article: Anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder: a review.

    Abstract Context: Epidemiological, clinical and familial studies indicate that anxiety disorders (ADs) are highly comorbid in persons with bipolar disorder (BPD). The phenomenological overlap between ADs and BPD is reported more frequently in individuals with female predominant bipolar presentations (e.g., bipolar II disorder). Anxiety comorbidity in the BPD population poses a serious hazard. For example, it is associated with an intensification of symptoms, non-recovery, substance use comorbidity and harmful dysfunction (e.g., suicidality).
    Objective: The evidentiary base informing treatment decisions for the anxious bipolar patient is woefully inadequate. Several expert consensus and evidence-based treatment guidelines for BPD suggest various treatment avenues, although these have been insufficiently studied. The encompassing aim of this paper is to synthesize extant studies reporting on the co-occurrence of AD and BPD. Taken together, a compelling basis emerges for prioritizing the identification and management of anxiety symptomatology in the BPD population.

  5. Article: Medical comorbidity in bipolar disorder: implications for functional outcomes and health service utilization.

    Abstract Objective: This is the first cross-national population-based investigation exploring the prevalence and functional implications of comorbid general medical disorders in bipolar disorder.
    Methods: Data were extracted from the Canadian Community Health Survey (N = 36,984). Analyses were conducted to ascertain the prevalence and prognostic implications of predetermined comorbid general medical disorders among persons who screened positive for a lifetime manic episode (indicative of a diagnosis of bipolar disorder). Within the subpopulation of people who screened positive for a manic episode, the effect of medical comorbidity on employment, functional role, psychiatric care, and medication use was examined.
    Results: When the data were weighted to be representative of the household population of the ten provinces in 2002, an estimated 2.4 percent of respondents screened positive for a lifetime manic episode. Rates of chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine, asthma, chronic bronchitis, multiple chemical sensitivities, hypertension, and gastric ulcer were significantly higher in the bipolar disorder group (all p < .05). Chronic medical disorders were associated with a more severe course of bipolar disorder, increased household and work maladjustment, receipt of disability payments, reduced employment, and more frequent medical service utilization.
    Conclusions: Comorbid medical disorders in bipolar disorder are associated with several indices of harmful dysfunction, decrements in functional outcomes, and increased utilization of medical services.

    Abstract Objective: This investigation was undertaken to explore the relationship between alcohol/illicit drug dependence and overweight/obesity in individuals with bipolar I disorder.
    Method: The data for this analysis were procured from the Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health and Well-Being (CCHS) conducted by Statistics Canada in 2002. Bipolar I disorder was defined as persons screening positive for a lifetime manic episode using the World Mental Health 2000 version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (WMH-CIDI). Substance abuse and illicit drug dependence were determined using criteria commensurate with the DSM-IV-TR. Overweight and obesity were defined as a body mass index of 25.0 to 29.9 and greater than or equal to 30.0 kg/m(2), respectively.
    Results: The total sample comprised 36,984 individuals (>or= 15 years old) screening positive for a lifetime manic episode. Subgroup analysis indicated that overweight/obese bipolar individuals had a significantly lower rate of substance dependence than the normal weight sample (13% vs. 21%, p < .01). Conversely, bipolar individuals who screened positive for substance dependence had a lower rate of overweight/obesity when compared with non-substance-dependent bipolar respondents (39% vs. 54%, p< .01). The inverse association between the presence of these 2 co-morbid conditions in bipolar I disorder continued to be statistically significant in multivariate analysis (OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.34 to 0.95, p < .05).
    Conclusion: An inverse relationship between the presence of comorbid overweight/obesity and substance use disorders was observed in bipolar I disorder. These results suggest that comorbid addictive disorders (i.e., substance use and compulsive overeating) may compete for the same brain reward systems.
