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

A dimensional approach to the psychosis spectrum between bipolar disorder and schizophrenia: the Schizo-Bipolar Scale.
Matcheri S. Keshavan,David W. Morris,John A. Sweeney,Godfrey D. Pearlson,Gunvant K. Thaker,Larry J. Seidman,Shaun M. Eack,Carol A. Tamminga +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest a hybrid conceptualization model with a representation of cases with prototypic schizophrenia or bipolar disorder at the extremes, but a large group of patients on the continuum between them that traditionally would be considered schizoaffective.

TL;DR: The findings support the notion that, in euthymic bipolar disorder, failure to engage fronto-executive function underpins the core neuropsychological deficits.

A double-blind randomized pilot study comparing quetiapine and divalproex for adolescent mania
Melissa P. DelBello,Robert A. Kowatch,Caleb M. Adler,Kevin E. Stanford,Jeffrey A. Welge,Drew H. Barzman,Erik Nelson,Stephen M. Strakowski +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that quetiapine is at least as effective as divalproex in the treatment of acute manic symptoms associated with adolescent bipolar disorder; however, a quicker reduction of manic symptoms may occur with quetuapine as compared with divalProex.

R. Michael Bagby,Kirstin D. Bindseil,Deborah R. Schuller,Neil A. Rector,L. Trevor Young,Robert G. Cooke,Mary V. Seeman,Elizabeth McCay,Russell T. Joffe +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined personality differences among three different Axis I disorders (unipolar depression, euthymic patients with bipolar disorder, and patients with schizophrenia in the residual phase of their illness) using the five-factor model of personality.

TL;DR: Ketamine infusions at a lower rate than previously reported have demonstrated similar efficacy and excellent tolerability and may be more practically available for routine clinical care.

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.

TL;DR: Diagnostic criteria for 14 psychiatric illnesses along with the validating evidence for these diagnostic categories comes from workers outside the authors' group as well as from those within; it consists of studies of both outpatients and inpatients, of family studies, and of follow-up studies.
