Associations between clinical variables and GMV within all BD patients.
| Variable | Negative | Positive |
|---|---|---|
| Number of depressive episodes | ptfce-FWE = 0.162 | ptfce-FWE = 0.589 |

| Number of psychiatric hospitalizations | ptfce-FWE = 0.132 | ptfce-FWE = 0.999 |
| Time since first psychiatric hospitalization | ptfce-FWE = 0.416 | ptfce-FWE = 0.785 |
| Time since first symptoms | ptfce-FWE = 0.329 | ptfce-FWE = 0.646 |
| Age of Onset | ptfce-FWE = 0.646 | ptfce-FWE = 0.329 |
| Psychotic symptoms (yes vs. no)a | ptfce-FWE = 0.356 | |
| Medication Load | ptfce-FWE = 0.072 | ptfce-FWE = 0.999 |
| PRS-CS-auto (mean φ = 1.29×10-4) for BD | ptfce-FWE = 0.571 | ptfce-FWE = 0.314 |
| Childhood Adversityb | ptfce-FWE = 0.098 | ptfce-FWE = 0.988 |
| Body Mass Index | ptfce-FWE = 0.546 | ptfce-FWE = 0.621 |
p-values are considered significant at p < 0.005, correcting for multiple testing by the Bonferroni procedure, aaccording to pairwise comparison (t-test) comparing patients with and without lifetime psychotic symptoms across both BD subtype groups, bmeasured by the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ).
