Cognitive abilities and psychosocial functioning in bipolar disorder: findings from the BIPLONG study
Our findings indicate that greater abilities in the domains of attention/psychomotor speed and verbal learning/memory are associated with better functioning. However, this association can be explained by other relevant variables such as age or education, indicating that cognitive abilities are not the sole contributor of psychosocial functioning. Investigating other measurements of functioning or cognitive abilities could lead to different results. Nevertheless, promoting cognitive abilities and autonomy in daily life remains an important aspect of therapy in bipolar disorder.
