Note. SCID = Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM); CASH = Comprehensive Assessment of Symptoms and History; DIGS = Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies; MINI = Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview; Di-PAD = Diagnostic Interview for Psychotic and Affective Disorders; SCZ = schizophrenia; SA = schizoaffective disorder; BP = bipolar disorder; BP-I = bipolar disorder type I; BP-II = bipolar disorder type II; BP-NOS = bipolar disorder not otherwise specified; DEP = any depressive disorder. SCZ includes individuals with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and schizophreniform disorder, CON includes individuals with no diagnosis, OTHER includes individuals with a diagnosis other than SCZ, SA, BP, DEP, or with diagnosis unknown.
