- Logistic Regression [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Logistic regression will be used to examine a genetic risk score using a risk allele count as the independent variable, with a diagnosis of BD versus MDD versus those with no mood diagnosis as the dependent variable.
- Genetic Risk Score [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Genetic risk score of selected SNPsrs1006737, rs10994336, rs10994133, rs2238071, rs1051375, rs1024582
- Family History [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Positive family history of bipolar disorder in a first degree relative
- Adverse Childhood Experiences Scale [ Time Frame: 1 year ]0-10 item scale assessing for adversity experienced during childhood
