Note: Results of a mixed model with empirical sandwich variance estimator and repeated effect of time. Type 3 tests are shown in Supplementary Table S2. Table shows specific contrast between estimated values at baseline and follow-up (illustrated in Figure 2). Age, body mass index (BMI), and type of mood stabilizer were included as covariates in all analyses.
