I have to echo touchingsaturn here - there is no "right" way to do this.

Mood charting can be especially personalized. For example, I have BP I and my daughter most likely has BP II. I've never seen her manic, only hypomanic (and definitely depressed). So, for her mania rating scale, I've put it in terms of hypomania - if someday she does swing into full-blown mania, then we'll call that an 11 on a scale of 1-10 and make the adjustments to a more BP I type scale. My mania rating scale is more your classic mania where the lower numbers are hypomania and the upper end of the scale is full mania.

Does that make sense? I don't mean to make it more confusing.
