Bipolar Disorder Screening Test

Bipolar disorder causes dramatic mood swings — from overly "high" and/or irritable to sad and hopeless, and then back again, often with periods of normal mood in between. Severe changes in energy and behavior go along with these changes in mood. The periods of highs and lows are called episodes of mania and depression

Approximately 4 percent of adults in the United States may have some form of bipolar disorder during some point in their lifetime, including about 2 percent with a "sub-threshold" condition.
