Bipolar Disorders: Bipolar 1, Bipolar 2, and Cyclothymic Disorder

There are very few mania rating scales. Generally, if a patient arrives in a manic state, everyone in the office is aware of the rapid speech, grandiosity, and extreme mood elevation. Office staff or clinicians may actually feel the patient is high or intoxicated on cocaine or a stimulant. One possible scale that may be considered is the Altman Self-Rating Mania Scale (ASRM).

The Highs Scale (Glover et al., 1994) was administrated to evaluate the women’s hypomania symptoms. This self-report instrument asks the respondent to rate each of seven items as: “0” indicates “no change,” “1” indicates “a little more than normal,” and “2” indicates “a lot more than normal.” The items inquire about feeling elated, being talkative, being active, experiencing one’s thoughts racing, feeling like an especially important person, needing less sleep, and having problems with concentration due to attention jumping to unimportant things. A cutoff score of 8 (≥ 8) is used to identify hypomania cases. Validation studies show acceptable internal consistency among perinatal women (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.738) (Yamauchi et al., 2018), and strong correlations have been reported between the Highs Scale and the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale (r = .62) (Glover et al., 1994) and the Altman Self Rating Mania Scale (r = .63) (Smith et al., 2009) in perinatal populations.

Mood was evaluated at baseline (V1) and after two weeks (V2). At both visits, the researcher rated the severity of depressive symptoms and peak severity of manic symptoms in the past seven days using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) [16] and the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) [17], respectively. Participants also provided subjective reports of depressive and manic symptoms during the past seven days by completing the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms-16 (QIDS-16-SR) [18] and the Altman Self-Rating Mania Scale (ASRM), respectively [19]. Subjective self-rating of mood in hourly charts (Supplementary Methods 1) was used to calculate the proportion of hours with depressive symptoms and the proportion with hypomanic, manic, or mixed symptoms during the two-week assessment period. The current mood episode at both visits was determined by a psychiatrist using DSM-5 diagnostic criteria taking into account physician notes in the medical file, interview-based evaluation (MADRS, YMRS), self-report via questionnaires (QIDS-16-SR, ASRM), and review of hourly charts with the participant at V2. A stable phase was defined as the absence of any DSM-5 episode, and could thus include depressive, hypomanic or mixed symptoms not fulfilling the severity or duration criteria of an DSM-5-defined episode.
