Summary

The association of eating disorders and bipolar disorders is less documented than the well-established association of eating disorders and unipolar depression. However, epidemiological studies have demonstrated an increased risk for bipolar disorders, especially bipolar II, in bulimic patients. We report the case of a patient displaying such a morbid association.
