All of the models tested were controlled for significant confounders which varied based on the outcome variable and were selected from age, education, race, sex, and Caregiver or Patient's Lifetime Psychiatric Diagnosis

Bold numbers indicate significant associations after Bonferroni's adjustment

Partial Associations of Caregiver or Patient's Current Psychiatric Disorders with Patient's or Caregiver's Current Psychiatric Disorders with other psychiatric disorders being included in the model simultaneously

Due to quasi-complete separation in our data, Firth's odds ratio and the profile penalized likelihood confidence limits were reported;¹⁰ otherwise, some of the parameters in the model could not be estimated
