About this test
▼
Bipolar disorder is characterized by an alternation between episodes of elevated mood and energy (hypomania or mania) and depressive episodes, separated by periods of balance. This screening test, inspired by clinical screening tools, explores five dimensions: episodes of elevation, associated impulsivity, depressive episodes, cyclicity and the impact on your life. It does not make a diagnosis — only a psychiatrist can — but it helps you decide whether it is worth talking to a professional.
Dimensions assessed
- ●Episodes of elevation- Periods when mood and energy are abnormally high (euphoria, less need for sleep).
- ●Associated impulsivity- Impulsive or risky behaviour during highs (spending, projects, risk-taking).
- ●Depressive episodes- Periods of deep sadness, loss of energy, loss of interest.
- ●Cyclicity- Alternation of distinct high and low periods, sometimes rapid.
- ●Impact on functioning- Effects of mood swings on social, professional and personal life.
