No significant correlations were found between psychopathology and lunar cycles except in the schizophrenia group: The BPRS subscale for hostility increased significantly during full moons.

Among the intention-to-treat (ITT) subjects (those who entered the study), there was a 55% symptom reduction in the HAM-D, 60% reduction on the BPRS, and 66% reduction on the YMRS.
