Objective:Patients suffering from both bipolar I disorder and borderline personality disorder (BPD) pose unique treatment challenges. The purpose of this matched case–control study was to compare acute treatment outcomes of a sample of patients who met standardized diagnostic criteria for both bipolar I disorder and BPD (n = 12) to those who met criteria for bipolar I disorder only (n = 58).Method:Subjects meeting criteria for an acute affective episode were treated with a combination of algorithm‐driven pharmacotherapy and weekly psychotherapy until stabilization (defined as four consecutive weeks with a calculated average of the 17‐item version of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and Bech‐Rafaelsen Mania scale totaling ≤7).Results:Only three of 12 (25%) bipolar‐BPD patients achieved stabilization, compared with 43 of 58 (74%) bipolar‐only patients. Two of the three bipolar‐BPD patients who did stabilize took over 95 weeks to do so, compared with a median time‐to‐stabilization of 35 weeks in the bipolar‐only group. The bipolar‐BPD group received significantly more atypical mood‐stabilizing medications per year than the bipolar‐only group (Z= 4.3, p < 0.0001). Dropout rates in the comorbid group were high.Conclusions:This quasi‐experimental study suggests that treatment course may be longer in patients suffering from both bipolar I disorder and BPD. Some patients improved substantially with pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, suggesting that this approach is worthy of further investigation.
