Abbreviations: SCZ = Schizophrenia; BD = Bipolar Disorder; HC = Healthy Controls; Cauc. = Caucasians; NS = Non-Significant; DOI = Duration of illness; PANSS = Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale; YMRS = Young Mania Rating Scale; IDS = Inventory of Depressive Symptoms; CDSS = Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia; GAF-S = Global Assessment of Functioning - Symptom Scale; GAF-F = Global Assessment of Functioning - Function Scale.
  2. Categorical data are given as percent in brackets, while continuous data are given as median with interquartile range. Post hoc analysis is performed using Pearson Chi-square for categorical data, and Mann-Whitney U tests for continuous data. Differences between groups are significant when p < 0.05.
