Is there a link between bipolar 2 disorder and problems in executive functioning, eg. trouble with concentration, attention, motivation and planning/execution? Also, is there a distinct neurobiological pattern associated with bp2, and if so, how does neuropsychology relate to this? :)

I am curious, what is the ‘hot topic’ that is currently being researched most on bipolar disorder? And if you had all the resources available, what aspect of bipolar would you like to research and how would your study look like? :)

I was wondering if researchers that have bipolar disorder themselves are met with stigma when they choose to join research projects on BD? You might expect researchers to be understanding, but perhaps some still view it as a ‘we’ and ‘them’ type of thing?

What does the phase of euthymia in people with bipolar disorder look like? Are there residual symptoms, and are the daily moods similar to people without bipolar? Or are these euthymic phases still somewhat distinct from regular moods in those without bipolar?

Thank you for your reply! You mention c ery interesting and relevant topics. I also know about a research project currently being done at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, NL. They are looking at the early warning signs and levels of resilience in children of parents with bipolar disorder, and how more insight could help implement preventive/protective measures :)

I would indeed like to know more about the roadmap you mention!
