It's a score which can be used in pre-DSM-5 diagnosis to describe the extent to which you are functional on a scale from 100 to 0, very functional and very dysfunctional.
It's a doctors' secret code to tell you your situation is hopeless (or not, which can still hurt, of course, cause one to feel undeserving), basically.
I don't need it for disability. It's just interesting to see what others think and what we think. If your clinicians aren't completely honest (which may happen of course and maybe that's fine) it may give you a better perspective on your functioning.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
