Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Test

bipolar disorder hypomania psychopathology

This clinician-rated measure is used to quantify the severity of manic symptoms based on a structured clinical interview and observed behavior. The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) supports rapid assessment of symptom intensity to inform clinical decision-making.

It consists of 11 items and is typically completed in about 3 minutes by a trained clinician (Young, R.). Ratings reflect current presentation across core domains of mania (e.g., mood/irritability, activity and speech, thought processes, sleep, and sexual interest), yielding a total score that can be used to monitor change over time. The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) is intended for professional use and should be interpreted in the context of the broader clinical evaluation.
