      of a rural cohort from south India.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Assess psycho-social outcomes in a rural cohort of patients with 
      bipolar-I disorder (BD). METHODS: Detailed evaluations were performed using the 
      Longitudinal Interval Follow-up Evaluation (LIFE) assessments of community-based 
      BD patients in southern India. Several subjective and objective outcome measures 
      were examined. RESULTS: Only half the cohort could be described as having a good 
      overall outcome, with persistent difficulties in inter-personal relationships in 
      a substantial proportion of patients. Separation or divorce, or co-morbid alcohol 
      dependence impacted a higher proportion of female patients compared to males. 
      CONCLUSIONS: In spite of the small cohort size, this longitudinal study indicates 
      mixed outcomes for BD patients in this setting, with several patients showing 
      enduring psycho-social and global impairments. Even though symptomatic recovery 
      for BD patients might be better in developing countries compared to those 
      observed in developed nations, the notion of better psycho-social outcomes for BD 
      in developing countries needs closer re-examination in larger cohorts.
