Continuous Positive Airways Pressure Treatment in a Patient with Sleep Apnea—Hypopnea Syndrome and Coexisting Bipolar Disorder
We present a case of a 43-year-old woman with bipolar disorder who was diagnosed with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS). After 10 days of treatment with continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) during sleep, the patient presented a mood switch, from depression to mania and was admitted to the hospital.Withdrawal of CPAP and appropriate therapy controlled the episode.
