BD-NOS = bipolar disorder not otherwise specified; BD-I = bipolar I disorder; BSD = bipolar spectrum disorder; CI = confidence interval; SD = standard deviation.

a

For categorical variables, prevalence ratios (with 95% CI) are presented. For continuous variables (age), difference in means (with 95% CI) are shown. Significant differences across bipolar diagnosis are shown in bold.

b

p-value after excluding ESM- participants (elevated symptoms of mania ≤ 12) from the analysis.

c

Adjusted for age, gender, race, and parental education.
