Method: Cognitive functions were examined in 30 patients with bipolar disorder aged 18–68 who fulfilled DSMIV criteria for a depressive episode (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score ≥11) and 30 patients aged 23– 68 who fulfilled DSM-IV criteria for a manic or hypomanic episode (Young Mania Rating Scale ≥11). The comparison group consisted of 30 healthy individuals aged 23–71 with no history of psychiatric or neurological disorders. A neuropsychological battery assessed executive functions and fluency, working memory and attention, psychomotor speed and reaction time.
