Measures Used

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale
A ten-item diagnostic questionnaire used to measure the severity of depressive symptoms in patients with mood disorders.

Young Mania Rating Scale
The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) is used to evaluate manic symptoms at baseline and over time. The scale consists of 11 items covering the core symptoms of the manic phase of bipolar disorder: mood, motor activity, interest in sex, sleep, irritability, speech, flight of ideas, grandiosity, aggressive behaviour, appearance, and an item regarding patient insight. Each item is given a severity rating, with a higher rating indicating more severe symptoms. Responses are the patient's subjective report of their clinical condition over the previous 48 hours.

Clinical-Administered Dissociative Symptoms Scale
The Clinical-Administered Dissociative Symptoms Scale (CADSS) is a scale used to measure dissociative states such as those induced by ketamine.
