Free Online Bipolar Affective Disorder Screening
What Is the Bipolar Screening Test (MDQ)?
The Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) is a widely used screening tool designed to identify symptoms that may be associated with bipolar disorder, particularly episodes of mania or hypomania.
The questionnaire includes a list of common manic symptoms such as elevated mood, decreased need for sleep, increased energy, racing thoughts, and impulsive behaviour. These symptoms are evaluated based on whether they have occurred during the same period of time.
The MDQ helps identify individuals who may have experienced patterns of mood elevation that are characteristic of bipolar spectrum disorders.
A positive screening result does not confirm a diagnosis, but it may indicate the need for a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified mental health professional.
The MDQ is widely used in psychiatric practice, primary care settings, and research as an initial screening tool for bipolar disorder. You can read more about Bipolar Affective Disorders.
