Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the psychosocial functioning of euthymic Bipolar Disorder Type - II (BD-II) patients and its association with cognitive functions and subclinical symptoms. The hypothesis was BD-II patients would have a low level of psychosocial functioning compared to healthy subjects, and the psychosocial functioning would be associated independently with cognitive dysfunction and subclinical symptoms.
