| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to examine the actual driving performance of patients with bipolar disorder and to identify factors that influence driving performance in order to extract clinical indicators that can be evaluated in a clinical setting to determine driving fitness. Driving simulator tasks, cognitive function tasks, symptom rating scales, prescribed medications, and driving behavior were investigated in 58 patients with stable bipolar disorder and 80 healthy controls. The results suggest that the patients' driving performance was not uniformly impaired, but that their attention function, number of mood episodes, and duration of illness were the clinical characteristics of interest in judging their fitness to drive.
