description Objective: Although there are some reports of reduction of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in manic episodes or its exacerbation during depressive episodes, this relationship has not been proved. Method: Clinical observations of six cases with co-morbidity of bipolar-I-disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder or symptoms.
