“…Yet this connection has not been studies outside of Western countries ( Ziada et al, 2020 ). Most studies in Tunisia ( Feki et al, 2016 , Khemakhem et al, 2017 ) and worldwide ( Brumley et al, 2017 ) have focused on impulsivity among youth with brain damage but not in a community sample. Studying this issue is needed in the Tunisian context in light of increased risk for exposure to violence ( El Mhamdi et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Socioeconomic status, a commonly used concept in health research, is usually measured by education, occupational position, and/or income. 21,22 Biological and genetic risk factors are also to be considered, as subjects with a family history of BD or other psychiatric disorders are more prone to BD. Furthermore, the risk of transmitting genes for the disease from either parent seems to be similar.…”

Objectives: To assess the association between disordered eating and bipolar disorder (BD). Methods/Design: A case-control study, conducted between April and September 2018, enrolled 50 patients and 50 controls. Results: Higher eating attitude test scores were significantly associated with the presence of BD. This association remained after the introduction of other factors (marital status, family history of BD, shopping and gambling addictions, sleep quality, and insomnia severity) that were also associated with the presence of BD.

“…The other factor that can increase the comorbidity of medical diseases in bipolar disorder patients is impulsivity. Feki et al (35) showed that the level of impulsivity among bipolar patients in comparison with the general population is higher, the rate of impulsivity was 55%. Thus, in the present study, the orthopedic issues of these patients and higher rate of hospitalization of patients with bipolar disorder in the orthopedic ward may have been the result of impulsivity and reckless behaviors.…”

Objective: Bipolar disorder is a severe, disabling, and recurring disorder. Some studies have shown that the frequency of bipolar disorder in patients with medical diseases is higher than healthy controls. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of bipolar disorders in medically ill patients hospitalized in Iranian general hospitals. Method: In this cross sectional study, 697 inpatients (342 men, 49.1%) from different wards of 3 general hospitals, with the mean age of 39.3+-10, were enrolled in the study using nonprobability sampling. Demographic questionnaire, Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) and Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS) were used. Inclusion criteria were as follow: informed consent, age 18-65 years, ability to speak Persian, and having at least middle school education. Results: The frequency of bipolar disorder was 12.1% and 20.8% based on BSDS and MDQ, respectively. The results of both tests were positive in 7.9% of hospitalized patients. The frequency of bipolar mood disorder was significantly higher in single patients and in those with comorbidity of alcohol and substance use disorders. Conclusion: Considering the high frequency of bipolar mood disorders in hospitalized medically ill patients and its probable effects on compliance and prognosis, early screening, diagnosis, and treatment of bipolar mood disorders is important in these patients.
