Bipolar disorder is a psychological disorder in which a person often experiences dramatic shifts in mood. People living with bipolar disorder will switch between manic or “up” emotional states and depressive or “down” emotional states. If someone experiences a manic episode of bipolar disorder, they may engage in risky behaviors which can be fatal. People with bipolar disorder often require medication to manage their symptoms. They will work with a psychologist to help them develop strategies to address the social and emotional complications of having bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder can impact cognitive functioning, impacting executive functioning, processing speed, memory, and motor skills. Cognitive remediation therapy using computerized cognitive tools may help patients with bipolar disorder resolve cognitive complications resulting from bipolar disorder.
