The set of questions in this bipolar test is only valid if you’re I8 years or older and have also experienced an episode of depression bad enough to have caused problems in the functioning of one or more important aspects of life.

To take the bipolar test, respond to each statement by checking the radio button alongside. The statements make reference to how you’ve behaved and felt throughout most of your life, even if they may have recently changed.

The test is only going to score correctly if all of the questions are answered.

This test is deigned to help, and not replace expert clinical opinion.

The bipolar test is based on the Goldberg Bipolar Spectrum Screening Questionnaire, which was developed by Dr Ivan Goldberg.

Individuals with a score of 25 or more have a high likelihood of having a bipolar spectrum disorder.
