Özet
Objective: It is known that individuals with bipolar disorder have high rates of comorbidities with addictions such as alcohol and substance use disorders. This study aimed to compare behavioral addic- tions (gambling, shopping, internet, exercise) between euthymic bipolar disorder patients and healthy volunteers. Methods: Sixty bipolar disorder patients in the euthymic state according to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria and 60 healthy volunteers were included in the study. A sociodemographic data form, the South Oaks Gambling Screen, the Compulsive Online Shopping Scale, the Exercise Dependence Scale, and the Internet Addiction Scale were adminis- tered to all participants. Results: No significant differences were found between the bipolar disorder group and healthy volunteers in the mean scores of South Oaks Gambling Screen, Internet Addiction Scale, and Exercise Dependence Scale (P = .816, P = .478, P = .677, respectively). On the other hand, the mean scores of Compulsive Online Shopping Scale in the bipolar disorder group were significantly lower than in the control group (P = .044). Conclusion: It can be suggested that the prevalence of behavioral addiction in bipolar disorder patients in remission is similar to that of healthy controls.
