	Panic Disorder
		For instance, panic and bipolar disorder may be the same underlying condition marked by different degrees of intensity of such symptoms as anxiety and fear, heart palpitations, shortness of breath and dizziness.
		Panic disorder was significantly associated with the L allele and L/L genotype.
		BACKGROUND: Given the observed association between panic disorder and bipolar disorder and the potential negative influence of panic symptoms on the course of bipolar illness, we were interested in the effects of what we have defined as "panic spectrum" conditions on the clinical course and treatment outcome in patients with bipolar I (BPI) disorder.

	Comprehensive Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Social Anxiety Disorder
		Meanwhile, in study after study, cognitive – behavioral therapy began to prove to be the therapy of choice for many mental health care problems, including depression and the anxiety disorders.
		Because the problems are very different from each anxiety disorder to the other, the behavioral group and its activities would prove to be ineffective for people with panic, generalized anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, even though these are clinical anxiety disorders as well.
		We must use all the cognitive strategies at our disposal, reinforce the necessity of persistency and consistency in social anxiety therapy, and make available any form of behavioral activity or experiment that will help the person slowly move up their anxiety hierarchy in the behavioral group.

	Cognitive Theory and Therapy in Substance Abuse Treatment
		As these learned addictive behaviors are incorporated into the cognitive processing of the child, they become virtually subconscious thoughts and leave the child with a distorted sense of normalcy concerning family function and a full repertoire for justifying his or her own substance abuse in the future.
		Cognitive based therapies applied to the substance abuser must address the issues of faulty beliefs and values, regardless of whether they are conscious or unconscious in nature.
		Cognitive therapies provide a means for evaluating the reasons why an individual chooses to use substances and the affect or affects these actions can have on the individual's overall quality of life.

	Physicians' Guide: Huntington's disease center: UI Health Care
		The cognitive disorder in Huntington's disease is considered a "subcortical" syndrome and usually lacks features such as aphasia, amnesia, or agnosia that are associated with dementia of the Aizheimer's type.
		Several studies have suggested that cognitive and behavioral impairments are greater sources of impaired functioning than the movement disorder in persons with Huntington's disease, both in the work place and at home.
		Although performance in IQ tests often remains within the normal range in the early stages of the disease, cognitive deficits are evident in speed of processing, cognitive flexibility (or the ability to shift topics readily) and the organization of complex information.

		It was intended to be a standardization sample and came eventually to consist of 137 patients (9 patients with dementia, 31 patients with affective disorder, depressed type, 14 patients with affective disorder, manic type, 24 with schizophrenia, 32 with personality disorder with drug abuse, and 27 with neurosis).
		Thus, the MMS scores agreed with the clinical opinion of the presence of cognitive difficulty and as the cognitive difficulty is usually less in depression than in dementia the scores dispersed in a fashion agreeing with the severity of the difficulty.
		A short, standardized form was devised for the serial testing of the cognitive mental state in patients on a neurogeriatric ward, as well as for consecutive admission to a hospital.

	T. Attwood Modifications to Cognitive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The initial component of CBT is an assessment of the nature and degree of the mood disorder, the cognitive abilities of the client and an evaluation of their circumstances.
		Once the client has improved their cognitive strategies to understand and manage their moods at an intellectual level, it is necessary to start practising them in a graduated sequence of assignments.
		This paper suggests that Cognitive Behaviour Therapy could be an effective treatment for the mood disorders associated with Asperger’s Syndrome but to date, we do not have an extensive body of research studies that substantiate it’s effectiveness or extensive clinical experience in how to modify the therapy components for this clinical population.

		Likewise, the Cognitive Training group was found to have significant improvements on three parent rating scales of emotional and psychological functioning, and these changes were congruent with the improvements found in the objective tests of mental processing speed, attention and memory.
