Cognitive functioning in first episode bipolar I disorder patients with and without history of psychosis

Psychosis in bipolar I disorder (BDI) has been associated with increased cognitive dysfunction, which may relate to poorer functional outcomes. However, it is not known whether cognition differs between BDI patients with (BDP+) or without (BDP-) history of psychosis early in the disease course, or if it is impacted by the presence of mood congruent (MCP) versus incongruent (MIC) psychotic features. We compare cognition between these groups in BDI patients recently recovered from first episode of mania.
