This screening helps you notice whether certain experiences around mood, energy, behavior, and thinking may point toward a pattern linked to bipolarity. It is not a diagnosis.
You will answer five questions, one screen at a time, then see a clear result with the standard MDQ threshold and the next recommended step.
Have you ever gone through a period when your mood felt so unusual, so good, or so activated that other people noticed it was not like your usual self, or it created problems for you?
If none of the statements fit, leave them unchecked and continue.
If you selected more than one item above, think about whether those experiences clustered together in one stretch of time.
Consider work, studies, relationships, finances, arguments, legal trouble, or day-to-day functioning.
This can include a child, sibling, parent, grandparent, aunt, or uncle.
This gives context to the screening result. It does not change whether the score is positive.
Bipolarity describes patterns of mood episodes that can involve depression and also periods of unusually elevated, activated, or irritable mood, often with changes in sleep, energy, activity, and thinking.
You can copy and paste this summary if you want to keep it for yourself or bring it to a psychiatrist.
