Eligible participants were aged 20\u201370 years, diagnosed with BD or MDD, and presented with at least mild depressive symptoms (Montgomery-\u00c5sberg Depression Rating Scale \u22657). Behavioral data were systematically recorded during a structured occupational therapy session involving artistic activities. Occupational performance characteristics were identified via qualitative content analysis and coded as binary variables. Group differences were examined using nonparametric tests, followed by simultaneous discriminant analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to evaluate diagnostic utility. In addition, leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) was performed as an internal validation procedure to assess the stability of the discriminant model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study sample comprised 21 patients with BD and 35 patients with MDD. Among 66 identified occupational performance characteristics, 3 specific behaviors, namely \u201cMessy work,\u201d \u201cPsychomotor dysregulation,\u201d and \u201cWork on your own without using a textbook,\u201d were significantly more prevalent in the BD group. The discriminant model incorporating these characteristics achieved an overall classification accuracy of 80.4%, which was also observed in LOOCV. ROC analysis indicated moderate discriminative power (AUC\u00a0=\u00a00.765), characterized by relatively high specificity (94.3%) and moderate sensitivity (57.1%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Distinct occupational performance characteristics observed during occupational therapy provide clinically meaningful insights for differentiating BD from MDD during depressive episodes.
