Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,
Brain damage or cognitive deterioration in bipolar disorder that you were told about is true. It is usually seen that more the number of episodes a person suffers from, the more the cognitive deterioration. Hence it is very important to take the right treatment and to adhere to it.
Hope this helps,
Dr A Rao
