The role of predominant polarity on cognitive dysfunctions in patients with bipolar disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive impairment is frequently observed in bipolar disorder (BD). Previous findings indicated that predominant polarity could have an effect on cognitive deficits. This study aimed to examine the association between predominant polarity and cognitive impairments in BD.

Materials and methods
