“…Considering cognitive heterogeneity, it has been widely reported that middle‐aged samples of people with BD display different profiles of cognitive dysfunction: a group with a preserved cognitive performance, a selectively impaired group with deficits in certain cognitive domains, and, finally, a third group presenting with a broader and more severe range of cognitive dysfunction 53–55 . A similar distribution has been observed in OABD, although with different nuances in which the intermediate group already demonstrated impairment in all cognitive domains and a smaller group of patients exhibited severe cognitive dysfunction 44 .…”

ObjectivesDespite the importance of psychosocial functioning impairment in Bipolar Disorder (BD), its role among Older Adults with BD (OABD) is not well known. The development of guidelines for the assessment of psychosocial functioning helps to facilitate a better understanding of OABD and can lead to better tailored interventions to improve the clinical outcomes of this population.MethodsThrough a series of virtual meetings, experts from eight countries in the International Society of Bipolar Disorder (ISBD) on OABD task force developed recommendations for the assessment of psychosocial functioning.ResultsWe present (1) a conceptualization of functioning in OABD and differences compared with younger patients; (2) factors related to functioning in OABD; (3) current measures of functioning in OABD and their strengths and limitations; and, (4) other potential sources of information to assess functioning.ConclusionsThe task force created recommendations for assessing functioning in OABD. Current instruments are limited, so measures specifically designed for OABD, such as the validated FAST‐O scale, should be more widely adopted. Following the proposed recommendations for assessment can improve research and clinical care in OABD and potentially lead to better treatment outcomes.
