Bipolar Disorder Test: Mood Swing Screening and Score Guide

Bipolar disorder is characterised 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: elevation episodes, associated impulsivity, depressive episodes, cyclicity and the impact on your life. It does not make a diagnosis — only a psychiatrist can do that — but it helps you decide whether it is worth talking to a professional.

In the article that follows, I explore mood swings and bipolarity. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a bipolar disorder test that helps you take stock of your mood swings, as a first screening. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results.

Take the test: Bipolar Disorder Test (Screening) → — Alternating euphoria and depressive phases, cyclicity: spot the markers and see whether it is worth discussing with a professional.

What the test measures

• Periods when mood and energy are abnormally high (euphoria, reduced need for sleep).
• Impulsive or risky behaviour during high phases (spending, projects, risk-taking).
• Periods of deep sadness, loss of energy, loss of interest.
• Alternation of distinct high and low periods, sometimes rapid.
• Repercussions of mood swings on social, professional and personal life.

How to interpret your score

The result reads as an intensity, not as a diagnosis:

• Few bipolarity markers: Your answers do not suggest the mood-swing profile characteristic of bipolar disorder. Highs and lows are part of normal life.
• Some markers — worth monitoring: Some of your answers suggest notable mood swings. Without concluding that this is bipolarity, it may be useful to talk about it, especially if they affect your daily life.
• Significant markers — seek advice: Your answers suggest a cyclical mood-swing profile that could correspond to bipolar disorder. Only a psychiatrist can make this diagnosis: a consultation is recommended.
