Abstract:
Cognitive forms of Theory of Mind (ToM) have been linked to social function in Bipolar Disorder (BD). To explore this social functioning was assessed with the GAF and cognitive ToM was assessed with the Hinting Task and the Picture Sequencing Task (PST) in 45 patients with BP and 45 healthy controls. As predicted, the BD group took longer to complete the PST. The BD group did not offer more incorrect responses to either cognitive ToM task. Greater latency on the PST predicted poorer social function after controlling for symptoms, partially supporting a relationship between ToM and social function in BD.
