Table 1.
Sociodemographic characteristics and cognitive performance of the patient group (PAT; n = 21) and the control group (CON; n = 20). Standard deviations (SD) are in brackets. MWT-B = Mehrfachwahl-Wortschatz-Test, BDI = Beck Depression Inventory II, BRMAS = Bech Rafaelsen Manie Scale, PANAS = Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PA = positive affect, NA = negative affect), CVLT = California Verbal Learning Test (LS = Learning sum, DFR I = delayed free recall I, DFR II = delayed free recall II, YNR = yes/no recognition).
