The CIDI was also used to assess 14 prior (to the respondent’s age of exposure to the randomly selected TE) lifetime DSM-IV mental disorders, including two mood disorders [major depressive disorder/dysthymic disorder and broadly defined bipolar disorder (BPD; including BP-I, BP-II, and subthreshold BPD defined using criteria described elsewhere [Kessler et al. 2006])], six anxiety disorders [panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, specific phobia, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, prior (to the randomly selected TE) PTSD, and separation anxiety disorder], four disruptive behaviour disorders (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional-defiant disorder, conduct disorder, and intermittent explosive disorder), and two substance disorders (alcohol abuse with or without dependence, drug abuse with or without dependence).

DSM-IV organic exclusion rules and diagnostic hierarchy rules were used (other than ODD, which was defined with or without CD, and substance
