Pearson’s correlation test was conducted. **. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). *. Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed). Level of significance was set at p = 0.05, significant p-values are shown in bold. Number of bipolar patients included in the analysis was 85.
