BP youth showed normal overall cognitive functioning that remained stable during the follow-up within each class. However, 24% of BP youth showed poorer cognitive functioning than the other BP youth. This subgroup had poorer mood course and functioning, and may benefit from cognitive remediation and early management with evidence-based pharmacological treatments.
