The authors assessed reliability and validity of a scale developed for use with inpatients on a mood disorders unit. The scale is used to rate a patient's mood along a quantitative continuum from -5, depressive stupor, through 0, euthymic, to 5, full mania. The scale lists behaviors that constitute criteria for each rating point. Mixed states and idiosyncratic behavior can also be assessed.
