Abstract

Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to investigate the role of reward sensitivity and cognitive insight in the recovery from type 1 bipolar disorder with the mediating role of working memory.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 126 patients with type 1 bipolar disorder in the manic phase who were referred to psychiatric offices and were selected using available sampling method. Sample subjects were reassessed for mania severity 30 days after completing the questionnaires and initial assessment. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling in Smartpls-3 software.
Findings: The results showed that reward sensitivity has a significant and negative effect on recovery from disorder and working memory. Working memory also has a significant and positive effect on recovery from the disorder. Cognitive insight has no significant effect on working memory and recovery from the disorder.
