Abstract
Out of ten consecutive patients with DSM-III-R obsessive-compulsive di sorder without any previous history of bipolarity, three patients show ed antidepressant-induced hypomania (clomipramine, one patient; fluvox amine, two patients) within the first 5 to 8 weeks of the drug treatme nt. These data support the previous results on a strong association be tween obsessive-compulsive disorder and bipolar affective illness.
