All participants are screened for mood symptoms using the MINI600 Neuropsychiatric Diagnostic Interview. All sections of the MINI600 are administered, including Major Depressive Episodes, Manic and Hypomanic Episodes, Psychotic Disorders and Mood Disorders with Psychotic features, Panic Disorder, Alcohol Abuse and Dependence, and Substance Abuse and Dependence. The MINI600 is a well-validated measure with psychometrics showing good to excellent specificity and sensitivity concordance to both the Structured Clinical Interview for the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic criteria (SCID) and the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (ICD-10) (53, 54). The psychometric properties and the psychometric validation of the MINI have been published extensively (53, 54).
