Cognitive fusion is the phenomenon whereby individuals believe in the literal sense of their thoughts, experiencing them as reality, generating suffering.The cognitive fusion construct is part of the tradition of transdiagnostic approaches, which are based on the idea that common factors permeate different psychiatric disorders and represent common targets in the treatment of different pathologies, such as bipolar affective disorder (BAD).The objective of the present study is to verify the existence of an association between cognitive fusion and age, disease duration, number of psychiatric hospitalizations, suicide attempts and depression in patients suffering from BAD, from the outpatient clinic of ``Conjunto Hospitalar de Sorocaba`` (CHS).This is a cross-sectional and observational study, with a non-probabilistic and convenience sample.A non-parametric analysis of the variables was carried out using Spearman's rho coefficient.
