Abstract

In a cross-sectional study aiming to analyze the comorbidity of eating disorders with bipolar disorder and recurrent depressive disorder, 178 patients were examined. All participants underwent a structured interview using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) to verify the clinical diagnosis and co-occurring mental disorders. The prevalence of eating disorders among patients with bipolar disorder reached 42.2% (n=51), while among patients with recurrent depressive disorder it was 7.0% (n=4). It was found that patients with bipolar disorder type I and bipolar disorder type II did not have statistically significant differences in the prevalence of all types of eating disorders. However, the association between bulimia nervosa and bipolar disorder type I showed a tendency towards significance. Additionally, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder were significantly more common among patients with bipolar disorder compared to patients with recurrent depressive disorder.
