<p>Correlation analyses between key study variables.</p>

A cross-sectional study of 124 Han Chinese patients with bipolar disorder, divided into groups based on early-stage systematic antidepressant treatment history. The dataset contains statistical analyses of correlations between antidepressant use, impulsivity, and positive/negative affect, authored by Dongyu Han and last updated on 2026-04-22. The data file is 5.5 KB in size.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the association between early-stage antidepressant treatment and levels of impulsivity based on Barratt Impulsiveness Scale scores.
• Investigating the relationship between antidepressant use and positive/negative affect states based on Positive and Negative Affect Scale scores.
• Conducting mediation analysis to explore potential causal pathways between treatment history, affect, and impulsivity.
• Comparing patient subgroups (systematic antidepressant treatment vs. no treatment) on clinical and behavioral variables.

Strengths

• Includes data from 124 patients, providing a basis for statistical analysis.
• Uses validated clinical scales (Positive and Negative Affect Scale, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse and modification.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and demographic bias inherent to the study's focus on Han Chinese patients.
