Bipolar Test: screening for mood swings

64 questions·10 min·6 dimensions·up to 20 clinical frameworks·6 report sections

Good morning,

This test looks at spotting the mood swings associated with bipolar disorder. It records what can be observed period by period: what happens in the high phases, what gets decided there, the tone of the low phases, the rhythm of the swing and what it costs in terms of functioning. The report brings these observations together.

What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.

How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report

The test runs over 64 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.

We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.

If you sometimes sleep very little yet feel overflowing with energy and ideas. Urges If you took unusual risks (driving, sexuality, impulsive decisions). If, in those phases, you made important decisions very quickly, without weighing the pros and cons. Plans If you started many projects at once, with boundless energy. If, during those phases, you felt more creative or more productive than usual. Confidence If you felt exceptionally confident or 'capable of anything'. If, during those phases, you felt more important or endowed with special abilities. Work If your mood swings have led you to miss work, classes or your obligations. If, despite your mood swings, you manage to keep up with your commitments and daily life. The relationship If these mood swings have harmed your relationships. If your relationships with loved ones stay calm, without tension caused by your mood changes. Money If your mood phases have concrete consequences for your finances. If they have had consequences for your work, studies or finances. Readiness to change If you want to change the way you function. If you believe you are capable of growing in this area.
