Neurocognitive Functioning and Impulsivity in Veterans With Bipolar Spectrum Disorders
<b>Conclusion:</b> Results suggest that in veterans with BD, poorer working memory is associated with suicide attempt independent of depression, while verbal learning impairments associated with suicide attempt may be influenced by depression. Neurocognitive dysfunction may underlie aggression to drive suicidal behavior. Findings support the role of neurocognition in models of suicide in BD and can inform risk detection and intervention.
