| Popis | Considerable attention in the field of neuropsychological studies has been focused on cognitive impairment in patients with a bipolar disorder. The aim of this pilot study is to determine the profile of cognitive functions in patients with this diagnosis. Cognitive deficit is closely related to psychosocial functioning and has a significant impact on the patients´ overall quality of life. An accurate profile of cognitive impairment provides useful information for effective treatment and cognitive remediation in these patients. The research group of the study consists of 23 patients with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder hospitalized in the Department of Psychiatry of the Faculty Hospital Brno and the Department of Psychiatry of the Regional Hospital in Liberec. The research involved patients aged 25-60 years who were examined in the acute phase of the disease. Patients were administered a comprehensive neuropsychological battery of tests: Letter Fluency Test, Auditory Verbal Learning Test, Trail Making Test, Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Tower of London, WAIS Information, WAIS Digit Span, WAIS Digit Symbol and WAIS Letter-Number Sequencing. Results of a comprehensive neuropsychological examination were compared with the standard population norm. The results showed disruption of cognitive performance in patients with bipolar disorder in the acute phase of the disease. |
