Goldberg Mania Scale

The Goldberg Mania Scale, below, is a self-administered questionnaire designed to measure the severity of manic thinking and behavior.

This tool was designed by Dr. Ivan K. Goldberg, M.D. and is reprinted with his permission.

This tool IS NOT designed to diagnose any psychiatric disorder, nor is it intended to replace evaluation by a qualified psychiatrist. It is only intended to measure the severity of manic symptoms, and thus to help the reader decide whether to seek a psychiatric evaluation.

______________________________

The test is made up of eighteen questions. After completing all the questions you will be presented with your result, and your rank on the Goldberg Mania Scale.
