Bipolar Disorder Patient Data on Antidepressant Use, Affect, and Impulsivity

A cross-sectional study of 124 Han Chinese patients with bipolar disorder, divided into groups based on a history of systematic antidepressant treatment. The dataset includes assessments of positive/negative affect and impulsivity, collected by Dongyu Han and last updated in April 2026. It is stored in an XLSX file with a size of 14.2 KB.

Use Cases

• Compare impulsivity and affect scores between patient groups based on antidepressant treatment history.
• Investigate correlations between negative affect and motor impulsivity as described in the study results.
• Replicate or extend the mediation analysis on the role of affect between antidepressant use and impulsivity.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a study with 124 patient records, providing a specific sample size.
• Statistical results for group differences in negative affect and multiple impulsivity subscales (attentional, non-planning, total) are reported with p-values.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and modification.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which limits suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (14.2 KB), indicating limited scope and feature richness.
• Data may reflect geographic and demographic bias inherent to the study's Han Chinese patient cohort.
