Please, 6–7 lines before the bottom (abstract section), delete the following statement:

“Subjects with residual symptoms were less likely to report substance abuse (χ2(2) = 11.937, p ≤ 0.005) and lifetime psychotic symptoms (χ2(2) = 10.577, p  = 0.005)”

and insert:

“Subjects with residual symptoms were less likely to report substance abuse (χ2(2) = 11.937, p ≤ 0.005), are more likely to report lifetime psychotic symptoms (χ2(2) = 10.577, p = 0.005)”

Please, 3–4 lines before the bottom (abstract section), delete the following statement:

“After multivariate analyses, a significant positive contribution to residual symptoms was given only by duration of current illness episode (β = 0.003; p ≤ 0.05), and lifetime psychotic symptoms (β = 1.094; p  ≤ 0.005)”.

and insert:

“After multivariate analyses, a significant positive contribution to residual symptoms was given only by duration of current illness episode (β = 0.003; p ≤ 0.005), and significant distressing life events in the last 6 months (β = 1.094;  p ≤ 0.005)”.

Page 4, column 2, 10 lines from the top (Results section), delete the following statement:

“likely to report substance abuse (30.3 vs. 69.7%)”

and insert:

“likely to report substance abuse (46.7 vs. 53.3%)”

Finally, throughout the Discussion section, page 10, column 1, 14 lines before the bottom, delete the following statement:

“the functional outcome in BD appear to reflect”.

and insert:
