Psychosocial impairment associated with bipolar II disorder

Abstract: Bipolar II disorder is associated with serious work impairment and a high number of serious suicide attempts. The level of impairment is more similar than it is different from that associated with bipolar I disorder. Clinicians would be mistaken to presume that the "softer" bipolar spectrum, specifically bipolar II disorder, is less impairing than bipolar I disorder.

“…44 The frequency of suicide attempts seen in this study is approximately 6 to 24 times higher than that observed in the United States general population. 45,46 Although the percentage of individuals with kleptomania reporting attempted suicide is comparable to that in bipolar disorder (27% -34%), 47,48 it is higher than those reported in major depression (16.5%) 49 and panic disorder (16.5%). 50 Legal problems (arrest and incarceration) were common in both women and men.…”

“…However, the latter two features are also more common in females than males and so a question remains as to whether the association is to a BP sub-type or gender (Kupka et al, 2005). Also, functional levels vary across studies (Grande et al, 2013;Maina et al, 2013;Ruggero et al, 2007;Judd et al, 2003).…”

“…Subscales for occupational status from the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) (2), the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) (20), the Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale (SOFAS) (21,22), the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHO-DAS) (23), and the Social Adjustment Scale (SAS) (24) have been employed as well as the Modified Vocational Status (10,24). Other investigators have measured psychosocial functioning with the Global Assessment of Functioning (9), or considered occupational adaptation (25), absenteeism (26), paid employment (1), turnover in employment status (1), occupational stability (27), semi-structured interviews (28) or selfreported functional impairment (29).
