Abstract: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe and disabling mental illness characterized by recurrent episodes of mania/hypomania or depression. Eating disorder (ED) refers to a group of syndromes mainly characterized by abnormal eating behaviors and excessive attention to food, weight, and body shape. Studies have found that BD and ED have high rates of comorbidity. ED is less common in males. We reported a male patient with comorbidity of BD and ED and introduced the diagnosis and therapy process to provide references for clinics.
