August 1, 2006, TORONTO, ON ~~ People with bipolar disorder who also have chronic medical disorders are more likely to undergo a more severe course of bipolar, have increased household and work maladjustment, be unemployed and require medical care more frequently, a new study has found.
Researchers with the University of Toronto’s Department of Psychiatry and the University Health Network conducted what they said was the first cross-national population-based study of comorbid medical disorders.
By examining data from a national survey in Canada, they found that rates of chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, asthma, chronic bronchitis, high blood pressure, gastric ulcers, and multiple chemical sensitivities were significantly higher in the bipolar group.
The study which appeared in the journal Psychiatric Services, was entitled “Medical Comorbidity in Bipolar Disorder: Implications for Functional Outcomes and Health Service Unilization.”
