When answering the above statements think about whether they have usually applied to you across much of your adult life - if the symptoms you are experiencing are new to you it could be indicative of certain types of Bipolar or it could be a result of something else.

This test assumes that you have already had at least one episode of depression in your life, and will give an indication as to whether you are experiencing the most common symptoms of Bipolar disorder. It cannot replace a full assessment nor should be used to self diagnose or decide upon a treatment plan.

This test was adapted from: Goldberg Bipolar Spectrum Screening Questionnaire, a Screening Test for Bipolar Spectrum Disorders.
