A rating scale for mania: reliability, validity and sensitivity.
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: Consistent with previous reports in smaller cohorts, adults with retrospectively obtained early-onset bipolar disorder appear to be at greater risk for recurrence, chronicity of mood symptoms, and functional impairment during prospective observation.

TL;DR: Functional remediation showed efficacy in improving the functional outcome of a sample of euthymic bipolar patients as compared with treatment as usual, suggesting an interaction between treatment assignment and time.

Rapid Cycling Bipolar Affective Disorder: I. Association With Grade I Hypothyroidism
TL;DR: It is indicated that hypothyroidism during bipolar illness is a risk factor for the development of rapid cycling and leads to the hypothesis that a relative central thyroid hormone deficit occurring in bipolar patients predisposes to a rapid cycling course.

TL;DR: Reductions in amygdala and accumbens volumes are consistent with neuropsychological data on pediatric BPD, which is consistent with data implicating the prefrontal cortex in emotion regulation, a process that is perturbed in BPD.

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.
