What is the proper way to include multiple author names in in-text citations?

Do I need to list all of the authors at the end of sentence?

For example: Bipolar disorder has proven to have cognitive implications for patients (author, author, author, author, author, yr).


Answer

When a source has three or more authors, list the first author's name followed by et al., followed by the publication year:

Example:  The four authors are Hathaway, Streep, DeNiro, and Pacino

...the conclusion that good actors can be in terrible movies (Hathaway et al., 2019).

For further information on in-text citations, the In-Text Citations Explained document on the APA Help guide.
