Introduction Bipolar disorder (BD) is frequently associated with
cognitive deficits in attention, verbal memory and executive func-
tions that have been related to various clinical characteristics of the
disorder.
Objectives However, fewstudies have examined the effect of gen-
der on cognition despite its clinical relevance.
Aims The aimof our studywas to investigate potential diagnosis-
specific gender effects on visual memory/learning and executive
functions in BD.
Methods Cognitive performance of 60 bipolar-I patients and
30 healthy controls was evaluated by using CANTAB battery
tasks targeting spatial memory (SRM), paired associative learn-
ing (PAL), executive functions (ID/ED, SOC). A multivariate analysis
of covariance (MANCOVA) of neuropsychological parameters was
performed with gender and diagnosis as fixed effects and age and
education as covariates. Following univariate analyses of covari-
ance (ANCOVA) were undertaken to examine the effect of gender
on each neuropsychological task.
Results Bipolar patients showed significantly poorer perfor-
mance in paired associative learning (PAL), set shifting (ID/ED) and
planning (SOC). Moreover, a diagnosis specific gender effect was
observed for cognitive functioning in BD (gender ×diagnosis inter-
action P = 0.029). Specifically, male healthy controls outperformed
healthy females in tasks of visual memory/learning but this pattern
was not sustained (SRM) or was even reversed (PAL) in BD patients.
Conclusions The present study is one of the few studies that have
examined the effect of gender on neurocognitive function in BD.
Our findings indicate that the gender-related variation observed in
healthy subjects is disrupted in BD. Moreover, they suggest that
gender may modulate the degree of frontotemporal dysregulation
observed in BD.

Introduction The problem of social functioning of psychiatric
patients is one of the most relevant these days.
Objectives Studying characteristics of emotional intelligence
parameters in patientswith depressive-paranoid symptoms in psy-
chotic disorders in the structure of F 20.0, F25.1 and F33.3.
Participants Study involved 40 patients divided into three groups
according to nosology:
– Group 1: F 20.0;
– Group 2: F 25.1;
– Group 3: F 33.3.
Methods MSCEIT (Russian version of the adapted version of
Sergienko O.O., Vetrova I.I.), the scale of PANSS and PSP.
Results The highest rates are in the group F25.1, except for the
scale D. In group F 20.0 compared to other scales reduced scale
index N. In group F 33.3 reduced compared to the scales A and E are
indicators of scales D and H. 2. The observed negative correlation
scale D performance of N5, G1, G5, G8, G14 (PANSS) in group F
20.0 and positive correlation in group F 33.3 of G6. E indicators
scales show positive correlation with G3, group F20.0, and F33.3.
Also was found a negative correlation with the performance scale
O13 H group F20.0. 3. The positive correlation between the level of
social functioning and performance scale H group F20.0 scales and
indicators in the group D F33.3.
Conclusion The findings are the “resource area”, which have
become “target” of rehabilitation programs for this group of
patients.

Introduction Bipolar I disorder (BD I) is characterised by at least
one full-manic episode. In bipolar II disorder (BD II), all upswings
are hypomanic, which means they never reach full-blown mania.
Therefore, BD II evolves into BD I, but BD I can never evolve into
BD II. Differential diagnosis of patients evaluated for BD II should
include BD I, major depressive disorder (MDD) and borderline per-
sonality disorder (BPD). Patients with BPD often have the same type
of severely disrupted life as well as patients with BD II because of
the multiple episodes of significant mood disorder symptoms.
Objectives Establishing some personality traits in patients suffer-
ing from BD II, their relationship and predictability.
Methods The test group was formed out of 55 patients diagnosed
with BD II in remission phase from 2012 until 2015. Three measur-
ing instruments were used: Eysenck’s Personality Questionnaire
(EPQ), Self-destruction Scale (SAD) and Beck Depression Inventory
(BDI).
Results We calculated the prevalence of personality traits
(neuroticism, psychoticism, elements of borderline personalityDis-
order), their correlation and predictive validity.
Conclusion We established the prevalence of neuroticism, ele-
ments of Borderline Personality Disorder and their significant
predictability in patients with BD II in remission.
