A member asked:

Can you tell me if bipolar patients can suffer from poor concentration and memory loss?

Yes: It is not at all uncommon, but concentration loss is worse than the memory loss. The memory loss is not bad enough to be picked up on a standard mini mental status exam by your psychiatrist in their office, but subtle memory and iq loss has been documented in studies of bipolar patients.

Bipolar: Yes these results can happen. If you are bipolar it is very important to make sure your lifestyle is very, very healthy. Daily exercise, plant based diet, proper sleep, managing stress effectively are all key factors in lessening the symptoms of bipolar. Best.
