Functional Remediation for Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder is a major mood disorder with periodic mood episodes that may be very distressing, both to the individual and to others. When ill, the person is at particular risk for disruptions to social and occupational functioning, physical health, and even premature death. When not in an episode, individuals with BD may still be feeling well but have ongoing neurobiological processes, as well as the psychological sequelae from illness episodes, that can lead to subtle neurocognitive impairment that impedes overall functioning. This study is a test of an existing, published intervention that ameliorates deficits in functioning in euthymic bipolar individuals.
