    1. Significant diagnostic differences were seen in the left and right cerebral volumes in interaction with sex (right: F3,93 = 2.9, P = .04; left: F3,93 = 3.1, P = .04). Post hoc comparisons showed that both bipolar groups (with and without psychosis) had significantly smaller left and right cerebral volumes than HCs; this difference was even more marked in the female BPD groups. The SZ group did not differ significantly from the other groups.
