"Influence of modifiable and non-modifiable variables on functioning in bipolar disorder: a path analytical study".

CONCLUSIONS: Initiatives focussed on modifiable factors such as depressive symptoms and cognitively stimulating activities, which increase cognitive reserve, may be a useful complement to existing treatments and help patients achieve functional recovery. KEY POINTS Individual functioning was influenced by cognitive performance, cognitive reserve, age, diagnosis and depressive symptoms. Executive functioning mediated the influence of age and cognitive reserve on individual functioning. Interventions focussed on depressive symptoms and cognitive stimulation may help patients achieve functional recovery. PMID: 32692269 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
