important to explain the reduction
of some scores. We show
here the level of significance for
each scale: BDI scores: degree
of freedom (d.f.) was 20 and the
level of significance 0.000; YMRS
scores: d.f. was 9 and the level of
significance 0.151; SF-36 functional
capacity scores: d.f. was 8
and the level of significance 0.000;
SF-36 physical aspect scores: d.f.
was 8 and the level of significance
0.053; SF-36 pain scores: d.f. was
8 and the level of significance
0.001; SF-36 general health status
scores: d.f. was 8 and the level of
significance 0.000; SF-36 vitality
scores: d.f. was 8 and the level of
significance 0.014; SF-36 social
aspect scores: d.f. was 8 and
the level of significance 0.040;
SF-36 emotional aspect scores:
d.f. was 8 and the level of significance
0.001; SF-36 mental health
scores: d.f. was 8 and the level of
significance 0.007.
The regression analysis did
not indicate any significant variable
explaining the reduction of
the mania scores (R2 = 0.355/P =
0.151). This last finding indicates
that the model did not work well.
The group variable (participating
in the G-CBT) did not elucidate
why there was a reduction of the
mania scores.
