How should the extreme anchor point for mania be defined for a person with unipolar depression?
To define the extreme anchor point for mania for a patient with unipolar depression, the patient is asked to describe the best they ever felt in life. If they consider this to be normal, a point halfway on the Visual Analog Scale between the midpoint (50) and mania (100), or about 75, should represent their anchor point.
