The ASRM (Altman Self-Rating Mania Scale) is a 5-item self-rating mania scale designed to assess the presence and/or severity of manic symptoms. The measure is completed by the individual prior to a visit with the clinician.
If the individual receiving care is of impaired capacity and unable to complete the form (e.g., an individual with dementia), a knowledgeable informant may complete the measure.
Each item asks the individual (or informant) to rate the severity of the individual’s manic symptoms during the past 7 days.
