• BD is a mental disorder characterized by
severe mood swings

(Saczynski, et al., Neurology, 2010)

disease in the world in terms of Total Disability
based on lifetime prevalence, early age of onset, high
chronicity and role impairment
- World Health Organization
8. Cognitive Symptoms of Depression
• Problems thinking, concentrating or making decisions
• Recurrent thoughts of death (negative bias and guilt)
• (In)attention, executive function
9. Cognition in mood disorders
• Neuropsychological cognitive measures
predict poorer functional outcomes, for

– Jaeger et al. Psychiatry Res 2006;145:39-48.
– Martinez-Aran et al. Bipolar Disord
2007;9:103-113.

11. Executive Control
• Executive function: higher-level processes involved
in the flexible organization of behavior, including
working memory, forward planning, and the
inhibition of dominant responses.
12. Cognitive Model of Depression
• A stress-diathesis model which posits that negative
thoughts about oneself, others and the future, (cognitive
triad),
• Precipitated by a perceived stressor in the
environment,
• Activates underlying schemas (i.e., core
beliefs, self-knowledge networks) that lead to the
development, maintenance and relapse of depression
13. Stoic Philosophy
Events are Impersonal and Indifferent
“What is a “good” event? What is a “bad” event? There is no
such thing! What is a good person? The one who achieves
tranquility by having formed the habit of asking on every
occasion,”
“What is the right thing to do now?”
- Epictetus
(1st Century Roman)

Editor's Notes
Leading a good life, as opposed to leading the good life
Memory Problems: slow, repetitious, mnemonic devices, notebooks, tape sessions
Multi-morbidity: interdisciplinary approach, presentation affected by medical illness?
Internalized Ageism: reduce hopelessness, dispel the myths, share resources
Story-telling: extensive details, set ground rules and summarize often
