Abstract
Cases have higher overall impulsivity in comparison to relatives and controls, and relatives have significantly higher (BIS) total, motor and non-planning impulsivity than controls.
Our findings suggest that impulsivity measured by BIS-11, may be a potentially valuable candidate endophenotype for bipolar disorder as it’s state independent and manifests in patient’s relatives more than general population.
The Global Assessment of Function (GAF) scores of the study sample results reveal that cases have more disturbed GAF than relatives. While investigating predictors of impulsivity, family history of psychiatric illness appeared to be a significant predictor of increasing impulsivity in cases group, on the other hand, history of violence and history of drug use are significant predictors of increasing impulsivity in relatives’ group, while unemployment is significant predictor of increasing impulsivity in control group.
