 OVERVIEW

 The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) is

 The scale has 11 items and is based on
the patient’s subjective report of his or

clinical observations made during the
course of the clinical interview.
There are four items that are
graded on a 0 to 8 scale
(irritability, speech, thought
content, and aggressive

seven items are graded on a 0 to

SCORING METHOD:

where higher scores indicate more
severe mania, thus, a negative change (or

Total score ≤12 indicates remission (13-
19=minimal symptoms; 20-25=mild mania,
26-37=moderate mania, 38-
60=severe mania).
MY CLIENT’S SCORE:

score was 30 out of a possible 60.


Scores in the 21-60 range are indicative
of Manic symptoms.
(With increasing severity as scores rise)
