In a 2023 study by Wrobel et al. analyzing childhood trauma and depressive symptoms, participants with a diagnosis of bipolar I, bipolar II, bipolar disorder not otherwise specified, and schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type) were selected. Diagnostic assessments were conducted using the Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies (DIGS) and confirmed by clinicians following DSM-IV criteria. Participants also provided self-reported and clinician-rated information on childhood trauma and depressive symptoms.

Data from 543 participants were used.  67.2% were women with a mean age of 50.3. This data was used to estimate the networks of self-reported and clinician-rated depressive symptoms. Self-reported (Patient Health Questionnaire) and clinician-rated (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale) scales were used for individual depressive symptoms. These were used among participants with bipolar disorder with and without a history of childhood trauma (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire), which were characterized and compared.
