Abstract:
Objective To explore two primary domains of social cognition in different phases of bipolar disorder.Methods Twenty-nine manic bipolar patients,36 remitted bipolar patients,30 first-degree relatives of patients with bipolar disorder and 30 healthy participants were recruited.Social cognition was assessed by the Facial Emotion Perception Test,Fauxpas Task and the Hinting Task.Results The manic bipolar patients performed significantly lower scores [emotion perception (90.1 ± 19.0),fauxpas (18.2 ± 10.4),hinting(6.6 ± 1.1)] than the control group [emotion perception (104.9 ± 9.8),fauxpas (28.4 ± 8.1),hinting(7.3 ± 0.8)] on all the test (P ＜ 0.05).The remitted patients [fauxpas (22.0 ± 9.3),hinting(6.4 ±0.7)] and the first-degree relatives [fauxpas(24.3 ±7.4),hinting(6.7 ± 1.3)] performed significantly more poorly than the healthy control on the fauxpas task and the hinting task (P ＜ 0.05),but not on the emotion perception(P ＞0.05).Conclusions Impaired emotion perception in bipolar disorder may be state-dependent and the theory of mind deficit observed in the bipolar patients group is may be a trait deficit.The evidence of impairment in the first degree relatives group suggests that the theory of mind may be affected by heredity or family rearing and educating environment.
