Modifiable & Non-Modifiable Factors Associated With Functional Impairment During Inter-Episodic Periods Of Bipolar Disorder
Key Messages
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic illness with inter-episodic periods that are associated with frequent persistence of residual symptoms, such as residual depression symptoms,cognitive impairment, or emotional dysregulation that can cause risk of recurrence and long-term disability.
Modern treatments have not always provided a favorable outcome in BD patients as the course of illness still involves multiple recurrences and impaired psychosocial functioning.
