Aim: Review of clinical and cognitive predictors of psychosocial functioning during the euthymic period in patients with bipolar disorder type II (BD II) was aimed in this paper. Psychosocial functioning status, clinical and cognitive predictors of psychosocial functioning and assessment of psychosocial functioning during the euthymic period in patients with BD-II were discussed.
Method: Studies investigated psychosocial functioning and its clinical and cognitive predictors were reviewed. Studies conducted between 1990 and 2013 were scanned.
Results: It's been seen that there were limited studies investigating psychosocial functioning and predictors of psychosocial functioning. Findings from these limited studies indicated that patients with BD-II experienced psychosocial disability as much as BD-I did. It was reported that subclinical depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment were the prominent predictors of psychosocial functioning during the euthymic periods in patients with BD-II.
Conclusion: There are limited studies conducted in euthymic BD-II patients. There are various findings among the studies. Nevertheless, subclinical depressive symptoms and cognitive impairments are the prominent predictors of psychosocial functioning in euthymic BD-II patients. However, follow-up and cross-sectional studies are needed in this area.

Borderline personality disorder has been estimated to occur among about 4% of those with autism spectrum disorder. This co-occurrence can escalate the challenges of treating either condition separately, and patients often face severe challenges in psychosocial and occupational functioning. Clinicians need guidance to manage a high degree of complexity, using standards of care and a synthesis of what is known so far, to navigate the currently limited armamentarium of clinical tools.

Background And Objectives: The study seeks to elucidate the pathways by which the Caregiver TLC psycho-educational program impacts the psychological health of caregivers by examining the degree to which changes in self-efficacy, personal gains, and emotional support mediate the changes on perceived depression, anxiety and burden.
Research Design And Methods: Using pre-post data from the Caregiver TLC randomized controlled trial (n = 81) for each outcome and mediator pair, a series of multiple regression models were executed to test the degree to which the program's total effects on changes in depression, burden and anxiety from baseline to post-intervention are due to changes in each mediator variable from pre- and post-intervention assessments. Caregivers were primarily female (85%), White (62 %), Black (38%), with a median age of 62 and household income of $75,000+.
