Abstract

This report describes the development and initial psychometric evaluation of a 47-item self-report inventory for mania developed by the authors. Twenty-five subjects with a diagnosis of mania and 82 subjects with other diagnoses were tested during a hospital admission. The manic group scored significantly higher than the nonmanic group. The questionnaire correctly classified 71% of subjects. Manic patients who lacked insight endorsed as many items as manic patients with insight. A reliability analysis indicated that the items comprising the questionnaire are homogenous. Testretest reliability was high. A rotated factor analysis produced two factors, energized dysphoria and hedonistic euphoria. The authors discuss diagnostic, research, and clinical implications and applications of the Self-Report Manic Inventory.

Reliability and convergent validity of retrospective reports of childhood maltreatment by individuals with bipolar disorder
2023, Psychiatry Research
Childhood maltreatment is associated with the etiology and clinical course of bipolar disorder. Most studies employ retrospective maltreatment self-reports which are vulnerable to bias, raising questions about their validity and reliability. This study examined the test-retest reliability over 10 years, the convergent validity and the impact of current mood on retrospective reports of childhood maltreatment in a bipolar sample. 85 participants with bipolar I disorder completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire [CTQ] and the Parental Bonding Instrument [PBI] at baseline. Beck Depression Inventory and Self Report Mania Inventory assessed depressive and manic symptoms, respectively. 53 participants completed the CTQ at baseline and 10-year follow-up. Good levels of convergent validity were observed between the CTQ and PBI. Correlations ranged from r_s= -0.35 (CTQ emotional abuse and PBI paternal care) to r_s= -0.65 (CTQ emotional neglect and PBI maternal care). Good agreement between CTQ reports at baseline and 10-year follow-up were found (range: κ=0.41 for physical neglect to κ=0.83 for sexual abuse). Higher depression and mania scores were recorded among participants who reported abuse (but not neglect) compared to those without such reports. These findings support using this method in research and clinical practice, though current mood should be taken into account.
The association between childhood bullying victimisation and childhood maltreatment with the clinical expression of bipolar disorder
2023, Journal of Psychiatric Research
Adverse childhood experiences are significantly associated with a worse clinical expression of bipolar disorder, however, the literature has mainly focused on childhood maltreatment (abuse and neglect) with little attention paid to other forms of adversity, such as childhood bullying victimisation (referred to here as bullying), although this is known to have a negative impact on different psychiatric illnesses. The current study aimed to investigate the association between bullying victimisation and the clinical expression of bipolar disorder individually and in combination with childhood maltreatment. This investigation consisted of 63 individuals with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (mean age 61.4 years) who completed the Retrospective Bullying Questionnaire and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire to measure exposure to bullying and childhood maltreatment, respectively. The clinical expression variables were assessed using self-report instruments, these were: the Cardiff Anomalous Perceptions Scale (psychotic symptoms), Suicide Behaviours Questionnaire, Self-Report Manic Inventory, Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventories. The results showed that exposure to bullying was significantly associated with more suicidal behaviours (F(1,61) = 11.02, p < .01, η² = 0.15) and psychotic symptoms (F(1,61) = 4.21, p < .05, η² = .06). When bullying and childhood maltreatment histories were combined, the results showed that individuals with a history of both adversity types reported significantly more suicidal behaviours (F(2,60) = 6.59, p < .01, R²=.18) compared to those with a history of one or neither form of adversity. The sample size, age and gender distribution, limit the generalisability of the findings. However, the current results underscore the need to account for bullying victimisation when considering the adverse childhood experiences-bipolar disorder relationship, especially its clinical expression.
The Deep Brain Stimulation Impairment Scale: A useful complement in assessment of well-being and functioning in DBS-patients – Results from a large multicentre survey in patients with Parkinson's disease
2022, Parkinsonism and Related Disorders
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been proven to alleviate motor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Regarding non-motor symptoms, however, inconsistencies have been reported, on whether DBS causes reductions in well-being and functioning. To assess motor and non-motor impairment in DBS-patients, the Deep Brain Stimulation Impairment Scale (DBS-IS) has been developed. Yet, the extent to which the DBS-IS detects impairment in DBS-patients and thus could serve as a useful tool that complements the PDQ-39 (gold standard) in assessment of well-being and functioning in PD-patients has not been shown.
By comparing DBS and non-DBS-patients we aimed to identify DBS-specific symptoms. We thereby aimed to show in how far the DBS-IS complements the PDQ-39 in assessing well-being and functioning in PD patients under DBS.
In a cross-sectional study, 186 DBS-patients were matched (for age, disease duration and sex) to 186 non-DBS-patients (N = 372) and the two groups were compared regarding well-being and functioning: Impairment was assessed via DBS-IS and overall Quality of Life (QoL) was assessed via PDQ-39. Additionally, we analyzed differences in impairment between age and disease duration clusters.
DBS-patients showed significantly higher total impairment (DBS-IS) and significantly higher impairment on the subscales Postural Instability and Gait difficulties and speaking difficulties than non-DBS-patients. Impairment increased with age and disease duration and, overall, differences in impairment rose by age. Overall QoL (PDQ-39) was non-significantly lower in DBS-patients.
Since there is evidence that the PDQ-39 misses some DBS-specific symptoms, the DBS-IS is recommended to complement the PDQ-39 when assessing DBS-patients.
Reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the CUDOS-M in patients with mood disorders: A multicenter study across China
2021, Journal of Affective Disorders
: A useful scale for identification of mixed features in major depressive episodes (MDE) patients is urgent in China. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Clinically Useful Depression Outcome Scale supplemented with questions for the DSM-5 mixed features specifier (Chinese-CUDOS-M) in MDE patients.
: A total of 152 MDE patients were recruited and assessed using Chinese-CUDOS-M, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and 32-item Hypomania Checklist (HCL-32). Principal component analysis (PCA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were conducted. The predictive validity was calculated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC).
: The Cronbach's alpha of Chinese-CUDOS-M was 0.85. PCA showed three common factors with eigenvalue greater than 1; the eigenvalue of factor I was 4.96, with 38.1% of variance explanation. Chinese-CUDOS-M depression subscale was associated with PHQ-9 (r = 0.83, p<0.01), and manic subscale was associated with HCL-32 (r = 0.73, p< 0.01). AUROC of the Chinese-CUDOS-M for patients with mixed depression was 0.90 (95%CI: 0.85–0.95), with a cut-off value of 7, sensitivity of 0.95, and specificity of 0.73. Furthermore, AUROC was 0.88 in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), with a cut-off value of 7, sensitivity of 0.96, and specificity of 0.71. AUROC was 0.92 in bipolar disorder (BD) depression patients, with a cut-off value of 9, sensitivity of 0.89, and specificity of 0.87.
: Our study shows that the Chinese-CUDOS-M can identify mixed features in both MDD and BD depression with satisfactory reliability and validity.
Reliability, validity and psychometric properties of the Greek version of the Altman self rating mania scale
2021, Comprehensive Psychiatry
Although self-rating mania scales have been developed, a lack of such instruments validated for the Greek population is noted. This study aims to examine the validity, reliability and psychometric properties of the Altman Self Rating Mania Scale (ASRM) adapted in Greek (G-ASRM).
A sample of 86 consecutive inpatient and outpatient bipolar patients diagnosed by the DSM-5 criteria and 37 healthy controls were assessed by using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) and the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), and self-administered the G-ASRM. Factor analysis, test-retest analysis, measurement invariance tests, mean differences, Pearson's Correlation analysis and ROC analysis were used to confirm the validity of G-ASRM as a scale, test its reliability, study its psychometric properties in different subgroups and establish a cut-off value for indicating the presence of (hypo)mania in BD patients. Also, regression models were built to expose dependencies between YMRS and G-ASRM items.
Monofactoriality of the scale was verified, based on Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Cronbach's alpha was 0.895. G-ASRM is highly correlated with YMRS (r = 0.856, p < 0.0005) and uncorrelated with MADRS (r = −0.051, p = 0.623). Test- retest r-coefficient was calculated at 0.85. The optimal cut-off score, set at ≥6 for (hypo)mania assessment, is in agreement with the results reported for the original version. Limitations of the study are that the scale was not normed on diagnostic groups other than bipolar, nor was it administered longitudinally, so as to assess its sensitivity to symptom changes overtime.
The G-ASRM can be validly and reliably used in the Greek population for the assessment of (hypo)mania in bipolar patients.
The mental health and lifestyle impacts of COVID-19 on bipolar disorder
2021, Journal of Affective Disorders
Citation Excerpt :
Both BD and healthy controls responded to these questions. Mania symptoms were measured using the 48-item Self-report Mania Inventory (SRMI; Shugar, Schertzer, Toner, & Di Gasbarro, 1992). The response format of the scale was changed from ‘yes/no’ to a 4-point scale ranging from ‘never’ to ‘always’ in this study, to allow for the capture of symptoms dimensionally.
It is unclear how those with bipolar disorder (BD) have been affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This study aimed to obtain a more detailed understanding of the current mental health needs of these individuals, which is important for both the development of intervention strategies to better manage patient distress and to better prepare for similar circumstances in future.
The sample comprised 43 individuals with a verified diagnosis of BD and 24 healthy controls. Data about pandemic-related mental health support use, socio-demographics, mood, lifestyle, social rhythm and subjective cognitive dysfunction data were collected and compared between groups. Inter-relationships between scores were also examined.
No between-group differences were found in terms of age, sex, living situation, job loss or reduced work hours due to COVID-19. Most patients with BD reported a history of ongoing formal psychological support (68.3%), with most continuing this support throughout the pandemic (82.1%). A large, statistically significant pandemic-related increase in subjective cognitive dysfunction was evident in the BD group. Subjective cognitive dysfunction was significantly associated with negative symptomology, suicidal thoughts, and quality of life ratings.
Data was collected in self-report format in an online survey and objective symptom measures were not used at this time
The absenceof substantial differences between patients and controls in terms of mood symptoms, COVID-19 fear or lifestyle factors and social rhythms suggests a degree of resilience in BD patients; despite large pandemic related increases in subjective cognitive dysfunction.
