TLDR
The MRS score correlated highly with an independent global rating, and with scores of two other mania rating scales administered concurrently, and also correlated with the number of days of subsequent stay in hospital.Abstract:
An eleven item clinician-administered Mania Rating Scale (MRS) is introduced, and its reliability, validity and sensitivity are examined. There was a high correlation between the scores of two independent clinicians on both the total score (0.93) and the individual item scores (0.66 to 0.92). The MRS score correlated highly with an independent global rating, and with scores of two other mania rating scales administered concurrently. The score also correlated with the number of days of subsequent stay in hospital. It was able to differentiate statistically patients before and after two weeks of treatment and to distinguish levels of severity based on the global rating.read more

TL;DR: Significant gender differences exist in the proportion of clinical visits spent depressed, manic, or euthymic in patients with bipolar disorder, with women spending a greater proportion of their visits in the depressive pole.

TL;DR: An association between the BDNF Val66Met genotype and differential gray matter content in brain structures is supported, and the variation in this gene may play a more prominent role in brain structure differences in subjects affected with BD.

TL;DR: The results support a model of BD that involves dysfunction in the prefrontal-limbic networks and associated striatal systems and the feasibility of ALFF as a technique to investigate persistent cerebral dysfunction in BD.

Nonparametric statistics for the behavioral sciences
TL;DR: This is the revision of the classic text in the field, adding two new chapters and thoroughly updating all others as discussed by the authors, and the original structure is retained, and the book continues to serve as a combined text/reference.
Journal ArticleDOI
A rating scale for depression
TL;DR: The present scale has been devised for use only on patients already diagnosed as suffering from affective disorder of depressive type, used for quantifying the results of an interview, and its value depends entirely on the skill of the interviewer in eliciting the necessary information.
