OBJECTIVE: To investigate the multifactorial relationship between illness insight, cognitive and emotional processes, and illness characteristics in @entity162 @entity1 . METHODS: Data from 85 euthymic or mildly to moderately @entity308 @entity1 were evaluated. Insight was measured using the Mood Disorder Insight Scale (total score and subscale scores: awareness of illness, symptom attribution, and need for treatment). Cognitive and emotional functioning was measured in four domains (processing speed, memory, executive functioning, and emotional learning) in addition to premorbid IQ. Illness characteristics were assessed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview, the Questionnaire for @entity162 , and the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-self rating scale. Regression analyses were performed for the whole sample. Post-hoc, interactions with @entity716 ( @entity716 ) were statistically tested and if significant, analyses were repeated for @entity1 with (n = 36) and without (n = 49) @entity716 separately. RESULTS: In the whole group, better insight was associated with lower processing speed, better memory performance, increased emotional learning, higher level of @entity308 , and longer duration of illness. @entity1 with @entity716 had worse awareness of illness, but better symptom attribution than @entity1 without @entity716 . No group differences for need for treatment and overall insight were found. Finally, processing speed significantly predicted subscores for symptom attribution in @entity1 with @entity716 only. CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive functioning as well as @entity4207 and @entity716 features independently contributes to impaired insight in @entity162 . Processing speed seems to be a key variable in the prediction of insight in @entity1 with @entity716 and not in @entity1 without @entity716 .
