The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) is a tool used to assess the severity of manic symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder. It consists of 11 items rated on a scale from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. The items include assessments of mood, energy, sleep, speech, and other behaviors commonly associated with manic episodes. The YMRS is commonly used in clinical trials and research studies to measure the effectiveness of treatments for bipolar disorder.
