The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) is a measurement tool used to assess manic episodes in bipolar disorder. This scale is designed to evaluate the severity and pervasiveness of manic symptoms. Mania is a mood disorder characterized by symptoms such as excessive energy, decreased need for sleep, rapid thought flow, increased self-confidence, and risky behaviors.
YMRS is typically employed as a clinical assessment tool. Questions directed towards the professional are used to assess the patient's control over manic symptoms and overall functionality. This scale can be an effective tool for monitoring the severity and course of the manic phase in bipolar disorder.
