Evaluation of Cognitive Stimulation on Dysexecutive Residual Symptoms in Bipolar Patients Over 65 Years of Age
Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Age is a major risk factor for the development of cognitive disorders and neurodegenerative pathologies. Cognitive disorders during the phases of bipolar disease are known to exist, and alterations increase significantly after the age of 65. Drug treatments seem to have only a limited effect. A cognitive stimulation program has proven his benefit to patients over 65 with neurodegenerative diseases (Israel, 2004). We propose to evaluate this cognitive stimulation program that we have adapted to bipolar disease.

Experimental: TONIC
The cognitive stimulation sessions are carried out using Liliane Israël's TRAIN YOUR MEMORY software, and are divided into two parts: the first part is essentially cognitive and the second relates to the daily life of the Bipolar patient.~This training method consists of combining two means of intervention, pedagogical action and psychotherapeutic effect. It aims to stimulate, develop and strengthen the basic mechanisms underlying memory phenomena (sensory acuity, attention, associations, structuring, executive functions, spatial and temporal landmarks, associative recruitment). It is presented in the form of exercises divided into eight modules.
No_intervention: Control
The usual practice consists of interviews with the psychiatrist with the possibility of home visits by the nurse.
