  15. Key STEP-BD Long-Term Findings

  16. With systematic treatment, 30% of STEP-BD participants achieved recovery and then stayed recovered over 1 year

  17. Anxiety: more difficult to recover from bipolar depressive episode without anxiety with anxiety Otto et al., Br J Psychiatry 2006 Jul;189:20-5.

  18. Anxiety: higher risk of depressive relapse without anxiety with anxiety Otto et al., Br J Psychiatry 2006 Jul;189:20-5.
