Abstract
ABSTRACT This is a case study of a patient in her 50s who presents with severe malnutrition, alcohol dependence, and untreated Bipolar Affective Disorder. She was hospitalized multiple times and placed in a group home 1 year after symptom onset. Cognitive and functional improvements are observed over a 6-year period, as demonstrated by 3 comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations. Residing in a monitored and structured environment for 6 years, with stability in psychiatric medications, monitored nutrition and abstinence from alcohol are attributed to this improvement. This study provides unique evidence of the impact of balanced nutrition and improvements in psychiatric symptoms on cognition.
