Spence Childrens Anxiety Scale (SCAS): The Spence Children's Anxiety Scale was
developed to assess the severity of anxiety symptoms broadly in line with the dimensions of anxiety
disorder proposed by the DSM-IV. The scale assesses six domains of anxiety including generalized
anxiety, panic/agoraphobia, social phobia, separation anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and physical
injury fears. It is designed to be relatively easy and quick for children to complete, normally taking only
around 10 minutes to answer the questions. Young people are asked to rate the degree to which they
experience each symptom on a 4-point frequency scale.

Mania:
Parent Version of Young Mania Rating Scale (P-YMRS): The P-YMRS consists
of eleven questions that parents are asked about their child's present state. The original rating scale
(Young Mania Rating Scale), was developed to assess severity of symptoms in adults hospitalized for
mania. It has been revised in an effort to help clinicians such as pediatricians determine when children
should be referred for further evaluation by a mental health professional (such as a child psychiatrist), and
also to help assess whether a child's symptoms are responding to treatment. The scale is NOT intended to
diagnose bipolar disorder in children (that requires a thorough evaluation by an experienced mental health
professional, preferably a board-certified child psychiatrist)
