Subclinical hypothyroidism and neurocognitive functioning in bipolar disorder

The aim of this study was to compare neurocognitive functioning between euthymic bipolar disorder (BD) patients with and without subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). Patients with SCH had poorer performance than patients without SCH in measures of verbal memory, attention, language, and executive funct...

Sumario:The aim of this study was to compare neurocognitive functioning between euthymic bipolar disorder (BD) patients with and without subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). Patients with SCH had poorer performance than patients without SCH in measures of verbal memory, attention, language, and executive functions. These preliminary results suggest that SCH could have some impact on the neurocognitive performance of euthymic patients with BD and warrant further research in this field.
