Are there differences in pattern and magnitude of cognitive deficits between euthymic patients with bipolar I and bipolar II disorder?

Conclusion: This study showed differences in severity and pattern of cognitive deficits between BD subtypes, and so the difference is not merely quantitative as confirmed by most of the previous studies. However, there were also qualitative differences in the pattern of executive function deficits, being more extensive in BD-I, which may indicate different biological or genetic etiology between the two BD subgroups. Future researches are needed to support this hypothesis.
