AB  - Prior research into the link between cognitive and psychosocial functioning in 
      bipolar disorder has examined primarily asymptomatic patients, has measured these 
      domains concurrently, and has failed to establish convergent validity in the 
      assessment of psychosocial dysfunction. The present study examines the relation 
      between cognitive and psychosocial functioning at the time of discharge from 
      hospitalization for acute mood disturbance. We obtained measures of psychosocial 
      functioning that were both close and distant to the time of neuropsychological 
      testing; the former from the discharging psychiatrists, and the latter from 
      reports of formally recognized disability status, determined by persons wholly 
      unrelated to the present research. Sixty-three patients with bipolar I disorder, 
      hospitalized for acute mood disturbance, completed a neuropsychological test 
      battery 24 to 48 h prior to discharge. We compared patients with versus without 
      formal disability status on the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale and 
      on scores of neuropsychological tests. We also tested associations between GAF 
      scores and cognitive test scores. Results supported the convergent validity in 
      the measurement of psychosocial disability, underscored the robust connection 
      between cognitive and psychosocial impairment, and highlighted the presence of 
      this connection during an important clinical state - time of discharge from 
      psychiatric hospitalization.
