Bipolar Disorder Test
Wondering If Your Mood Swings Are More Than Just Mood Swings?
Weeks of feeling unstoppable, barely needing sleep, followed by a low that drains everything; these shifts can be dismissed as "just how you are" when they may point to something more specific. This quick screening tool helps you recognise whether what you're experiencing aligns with BD. Takes just a few minutes.

- ABOUT THE TEST
The Clinical Basis for This BD Screening Test
This self-screening tool draws on principles from the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), the most widely used validated instrument for screening bipolar spectrum symptoms in adults.
The low is often what brings people to a screening test, but it's the high that actually tells the fuller story. This test asks about both ends, the highs that felt unstoppable and the lows that followed, since bipolar disorder is defined by the pattern between them, not either extreme alone.
Grounded in Validated Research
Built on the MDQ, the leading screening tool clinicians use to assess bipolar spectrum symptoms.
A Starting Point, Not a Label
Your score flags whether your mood patterns are worth a closer look, not a diagnosis in itself.
A Clear Way Forward
If your results suggest possible bipolar disorder, HelloDoc can connect you with a psychiatrist for a comprehensive assessment.

- FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A few honest answers before you begin the bipolar disorder screening test.
Is this Bipolar Disorder test a diagnosis?
No. This is a screening tool only. Bipolar disorder can present differently from person to person and overlaps with other conditions; only a formal assessment with a qualified professional can confirm a diagnosis.
How long does the test take?
About 2 to 3 minutes for 17 questions. Go with your first instinct rather than overanalysing each answer; it’s usually the most accurate response.
What should I do if my score is high?
A higher score doesn’t confirm bipolar disorder, but recurring patterns of high and low moods are worth taking seriously. We’d recommend booking an assessment with one of our psychiatrists.
