Risperidone plus Valproate for Obsessive- Compulsive-bipolar Disorder Comorbidity: a Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Treatment of obsessive-compulsive-bipolar comorbidity is relatively challenging. This case report presents the improvement of both obsessive-compulsive and mood symptoms in a female patient treated with risperidone plus valproate. Her obsessivecompulsive and manic symptoms, as assessed respectively by using The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), improved continuously and were totally ameliorated within 2 weeks of the combination treatment. As assessed by the use of The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), the treatment regimen also did not induce a depressed mood. Obsessivecompulsive-bipolar comorbidity may be a condition that responds well to risperidone plus valproate. Chiang Mai Med Bull 2005;44(1):43-47.
