Young Mania Rating Scale

It was first used in clinical practice in 1978. [ [http://www.massgeneral.org/schoolpsychiatry/screening_bipolar.asp#YMRS Description of the test] from Massachusetts General Hospital]

A similar scale was then developed for to allow clinicians to interview parents about their children's symptoms, in order to ascertain a better diagnosis of mania in children.
