Hi all,

There have been a number of posts regarding cognitive problems in bipolar disorder. May I humbly share as a resource the link (posted) for a book of mine entitled "Cognitive Dysfunction in Bipolar Disorder." Though it's written for clinicians, I think it's pretty accessible and may help answer some questions about the types of cognitive problems that are inherently part of bipolar disorder (especially bipolar I disorder), and the effects of medicines, both good and bad.

Thank you for the resource! Very much appreciated. I attempted to talk with my pdoc about this topic yesterday and she didn't listen...I left feeling very frustrated. Sometime soon I hope to find a better doc, when I get health insurance.

I'm so glad you have expertise in this area.

Dear Snowyowl,

Yes, to a degree....but unfortunately there are very few, and quite limited approaches to combating cognitive problems.

I look on Amazon.com. Your book is not a price many of us can afford. Some cannot work and are struggling to make ends meet. I'm sure you mean well, but have you thought of that?

Dear oldnotwise,

I would imagine your local library would have a copy, or could perhaps order one if you asked.

The book is a medical textbook written for professionals rather than patients, but because of the interest raised here on the exchange, i thought it worth mentioning as a reference for those who might be looking for information on the topic. Unfortunately I don't know that anyone has written anything specifically on this topic directed to a patient audience.
