Analyzed using a linear mixed model for repeated measures across the 24-month follow-up period.

Scores reflect the severity of mental illness the patient is experiencing at a given time (1, normal, not at all ill; 2, borderline; 3, mildly ill; 4, moderately ill; 5, markedly ill; 6, severely ill; 7, among the most extremely ill patients).80
