Measuring mania and critical appraisal of rating scales

“…In order to obtain greater breadth and sensitivity, the authors included four subscales integrating items from existing physician‐ and nurse‐rated measurements. The symptom characteristics as assessed by the clinician are captured by the SADS‐C‐17 scale (32) and the Video Interview Behaviour Evaluation Scale (VIBES) Factor B‐2 scale (33). The former profiles the major manic features, whereas the latter focuses on the anger and negativity associated with the syndrome.…”

A Metaanalysis of Controlled Trials of Neuroleptic Treatment in Dementia

“…A total of 33 studies were identified in which neuroleptic medications were compared to placebo or to other medications in geriatric samples that comprised some dementia patients 12–44 . In studies intended to compare several medication classes in parallel groups, only neuroleptic and placebo data were used for the metaanalyses.…”

“…Studies Comparing Neuroleptics with Other Medications Twenty studies compared one neuroleptic with another medication 24–27,29–44 . Seven compared a neuroleptic with a sedative/hypnotic 24,27,29,32–34,36 .…”

Self-discrepancies in clinical depression and social phobia: Cognitive structures that underlie emotional disorders?

“…Variation in the length of time subjects verbalized (and verbalization rate in words per second) served as a behavioral indicator of mood induction. Katz (Katz & Itil, 1974; Katz et al, 1984) has observed that clinical depressives show decreased length and rate of verbalization during structured interviews, a tendency that disappears as the depressed state remits. It was predicted that exposure to AI mismatch priming would result in decreased length and rate of verbalization (relative to non-self-referential priming), whereas exposure to AOO mismatch priming would result in increased length and rate of verbalization (relative to non-self-referential priming).…”
