This brief self-report measure is used to screen for current symptoms consistent with mania or hypomania. The Altman Self-Rating Mania Scale (ASRM) asks respondents to rate recent mood and behavior changes relevant to bipolar-spectrum presentations.
It consists of 5 items and typically requires about 1 minutes to complete. Items focus on observable or subjectively experienced changes (e.g., elevated mood, increased energy, talkativeness, and activity) over a recent time frame.
The Altman Self-Rating Mania Scale (ASRM) can support symptom monitoring over time and help guide decisions about whether further clinical evaluation is indicated. It was developed by Altman, E.
