Hypomania across the binge eating spectrum. A study on hypomanic symptoms in full criteria and sub-threshold binge eating subjects

The association between emotions and eating behaviour in an obese population with binge eating disorder

“…Overall, the included studies were of poor quality in relation to the sample size. Despite the BED focus of included studies, only four studies had 100% classified as having BED or sub‐threshold BED (s‐BED) , and seven papers had less than (or equal to) one‐third of participants classified with BED . Data reporting in analyses was not consistent enough to allow for meta‐analysis, and for the most part, effect sizes and estimates of variance were not reported.…”

Cyclothymia reloaded: A reappraisal of the most misconceived affective disorder

“…The association seems to be more common in bulimic patients who present serious and chronic forms. Hypomania also predicts diagnoses of binge-eating disorder in obese patients (Alciati et al, 2007;Amianto et al, 2011), and the severity of obesity has proved to be significantly related to bipolar diathesis in major depressive patients (Vannucchi et al, 2014).…”

“…Although specific and reliable epidemiologic studies on cyclothymia are almost entirely lacking, in the last few years the prevalence of affective temperaments and cyclothymic disorder has been extensively explored over a wide span of psychiatric disorders such as: major depression (Hantouche et al, 1998;Manning et al, 1997), OCD (D'Ambrosio et al, 2010;Hantouche et al, 2003b), Panic Disorder/agoraphobia (Del Carlo et al, 2013;MacKinnon et al, 2003;Manning et al, 1997), eating disorders (Amianto et al, 2011;Blinder et al, 2006;Lunde et al, 2009;McElroy et al, 2005), drug and alcohol abuse (Pani et al, 2010;Unseld et al, 2012).…”

Comorbilidad entre el trastorno bipolar y los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria

“…Los TA son, en los estudios revisados, los TCA más comunes entre la población bipolar, por lo que se han hecho estudios específicos acerca de esta comorbilidad 10,11 . McElroy encontró en un estudio que el 9,5% de los pacientes con TB tenía TA 11 .…”

“…Además, se observó una asociación significativa entre el diagnóstico de TA y el sexo femenino, la cooperatividad y el Hypomania Checklist-32. Los pacientes con TA tenían puntuaciones más elevadas en hipomanía, independientes de los rasgos de personalidad 10 .…”
