I was dx with bipolar in 2012. But years before that I had symptoms of bipolar. I've noticed recently that my memory, word retrieval, etc. has gotten really bad. (I was released from impatient in Feb). But my husband tells me that I had these problems, be it a lot milder, a couple/few years ago.
My question is, were my earlier cognition issues related to bipolar?
Do they get worse over time or is it related to how many episodes you have?
