I've not read the paper itself yet, but those don't seem to be causes, but just some correlations. Perhaps bipolar disorder gives cravings for fat, for example.

A former boss of mine suffered with this illness for years before he was finally definitively diagnosed a few years ago.  Doctors had treated him for depression, but that was only part of it.  He self-medicated with alcohol for a long time and that may have been why doctors didn't really know what was wrong with him.  Last I heard he was involved in a study on bipolar disorder at the University of Pittsburgh.   Not sure if anything came out of the study or if it's still ongoing. 

 I hope he has found some relief.  He was a brilliant trial attorney, then  everything fell apart for him.  His legal career sunk like a rock.  Kicked out of three law firms.  In between, his beloved wife developed cancer and passed away.  Two of his three kids were losers and no help at all.  Tragic.
