Abstract

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a long-lasting, recurrent affective disorder characterized by cyclic episodes of mania, hypomania and depression.  Patients with bipolar disorder suffer from cognitive impairments not only during the acute phase but also during the remission phase, characterized by impairment of attention, memory and executive function.  Aim of the study was to estimate group differences in attention concentration executive functions and quality of life in euthymic manic patients and first degree relatives of manic patients. 50 Euthymic patients (Bipolar-I Disorder, single manic episode, in full remission) 50 Euthymic patients (Bipolar-I Disorder, most recent episode manic, in full remission) First degree relatives of manic patients (n=50) and Control group (n=50) were selected for study. They were assessed on Young Mania rating scale, GHQ-12, Cognitive symptoms checklist, quality of life (WHOQOL) Brief. Results and Discussion are discussed below.
