Cover Story: We aimed to clarify the effect of the type and number of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and the timing of adverse experiences on clinical outcomes in 2,675 patients with bipolar disorders. We found that ACE have robust negative effects on clinical outcomes, including earlier age at onset, presence of psychotic episodes, suicide attempts, mixed symptoms, substance misuse comorbidity, and worse life functioning. Specifically, the number of ACE had the most significant effect on clinical outcomes; however, specific ACE, such as physical abuse, had a considerable influence. Moreover, post-childhood adverse experiences had a weaker effect on clinical outcomes than ACE.View this paper.
