Abstract
Some characteristics of disorders of cognitive functions in the primary episode of bipolar affective disorder
Highlights
One of the most pressing problems of modern psychiatry is bipolar affective disorder (BAD), which is accompanied by severe disruption of social functioning, reduced life expectancy, high suicidal activity, involvement in the use of psychoactive substances, and the need for long-term treatment [1,2,3,4,5]
Significant increase in the timing of the Trail Making Test (TMT)-A test in patients with depressive type of primary episode (PE) of BAD is associated with a pronounced slowing of the speed of mental processes during the depressive state, as well as a decrease in switching attention due to bradipsychism
Patients with depressive type of PE of BAD while performing the TMT-A test made errors, which affected the speed of the test
Summary
One of the most pressing problems of modern psychiatry is BAD, which is accompanied by severe disruption of social functioning, reduced life expectancy, high suicidal activity, involvement in the use of psychoactive substances, and the need for long-term treatment [1,2,3,4,5] In this case, the timely diagnosis of the disease in the early stages is extremely important for the adequate treatment and rehabilitation of patients with BAD; this task presents considerable difficulties due to the lack of research of the initial characteristics of the disease and the low predictive value of existing predictors, which requires the improvement of prodromal identification tools [6].
