Initial survey items were based systematic review literature. Subsequent surveys included new or...
Introduction: Few studies have examined the clinical, neuropsychological and pharmacological factors involved in functional outcome of bipolar disorder despite gap between clinical recovery. Methods: A sample 77 euthymic patients were included study.
