Longitudinal Study of Cognition in Older Adults with Bipolar Disorder
FY 2008-09
Summary
Bipolar disorder (formerly called manic-depressive illness) affects about 3 percent of older Canadians. Many older persons who suffer from bipolar disorder experience significant problems with their memory, attention, and other cognitive functions. These changes put them at risk to develop dementia or to lose their ability to take care of themselves and live independently in the community. This project will study the factors that influence these changes in memory, attention, and other cognitive functions. Identifying and understanding these factors will provide new targets for interventions in these vulnerable elders. In turn, new or improved interventions will help to preserve their independence and quality of life as they age.

Abstract
Bipolar disorder (formerly called manic-depressive illness) affects about 3 percent of older Canadians. Many older persons who suffer from bipolar disorder experience significant problems with their memory, attention, and other cognitive functions. These changes put them at risk to develop dementia or to lose their ability to take care of themselves and live independently in the community. This project will study the factors that influence these changes in memory, attention, and other cognitive functions. Identifying and understanding these factors will provide new targets for interventions in these vulnerable elders. In turn, new or improved interventions will help to preserve their independence and quality of life as they age.
