purpose: bipolar disorders of complex and multi-dimensional nature necessitate new therapies.   this research compared the effect of meta-cognitive and psycho-educational family therapy on   dysfunctional attitudes of bipolar patients.   materials and methods: this was a semi-empirical research with pretest-posttest design, using   control group. from among the bipolar woman who had referred to...

In this article, we combine the concept of bipolar neutrosophic set and graph theory. We introduce the notions of bipolar single valued neutrosophic graphs, strong bipolar single valued neutrosophic graphs, complete bipolar single valued neutrosophic graphs, regular bipolar single valued neutrosophic graphs and investigate some of their related properties.

The notions of bipolar fuzzy hyper MV-subalgebras, (weak) bipolar fuzzy hyper MV-deductive system and precisely weak bipolar fuzzy hyper MV-deductive system are introduced, and their relations are investigated. Characterizations of bipolar fuzzy hyper MV-subalgebras and weak bipolar fuzzy hyper MV-deductive systems are provided.

The notions of a bipolar fuzzy regularity, a bipolar fuzzy regular subalgebra, a bipolar fuzzy filter, and a bipolar fuzzy closed quasi filter in BCH-algebras are introduced, and several properties are investigated. A characterization of a bipolar fuzzy filter is provided. Mathematics Subject Classification: 06F35, 03G25, 08A72

BACKGROUND Bipolar affective disorder may be associated with alterations in thyroid function. A comprehensive thyroid assessment is important for assessing clinical and sub-clinical imbalances linked to a variety of mood disorders like bipolar affective disorder. AIM To find out the association between bipolar affective disorder and thyroid dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHOD The present cros...

In this article, we combine the concept of a bipolar fuzzy set and a soft set. We introduce the notion of bipolar fuzzy soft set and study fundamental properties. We study basic operations on bipolar fuzzy soft set. We define extended union, intersection of two bipolar fuzzy soft set. We also give an application of bipolar fuzzy soft set into decision making problem. We give a general algorithm...

OBJECTIVES Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia share common pathophysiological processes and may have similar perceptual abnormalities. Mismatch negativity (MMN) and P3a - event-related potentials associated with auditory preattentional processing - have been extensively studied in schizophrenia, but rarely in bipolar disorder. Furthermore, MMN and P3a have not been examined between diagnostic s...

OBJECTIVES To compare demographic and clinical characteristics between bipolar adolescents with and without a history of stimulant treatment, we hypothesized that adolescents treated with stimulants would have an earlier age at onset of bipolar disorder, independent of co-occurring attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHOD Thirty-four adolescents hospitalized with mania were ass...
