Abstract
Seventeen patients hospitalized for acute mania were followed up 1 month after discharge. Ratings of psychopathology at discharge using a new Mania Rating Scale differentiated the 12 patients who maintained outpatient status for 1 month from the five who did not. Total scores greater than 14.0 predicted being rehospitalized or jailed. Significantly higher item ratings for speech (rate and amount), language-thought disorder, irritability, and disruptive-aggressive behavior were noted in the poorer compared to the better outcome group.
