    Online Bipolar Screening Test

    Posted by Administrator in Mental Health.

    To look for signs of bipolar disorder, read the following lists.

    now or in the past:

    Signs of mania (ups)

    I feel like I’m on top of the world. I feel powerful. I can do anything I want, nothing can stop me. I have lots of energy. I don’t seem to need much sleep. I feel restless all the time. I feel really mad. I have a lot of sexual energy. I can’t focus on anything for very long. I sometimes can’t stop talking and I talk really fast. I’m spending lots of money on things I don’t need and can’t afford. Friends tell me that I’ve been acting differently. They tell me that I’m starting fights, talking louder, and getting more angry.

    Signs of depression (downs)

    I am really sad most of the time. I don’t enjoy doing the things I’ve always enjoyed doing. I don’t sleep well at night and am very restless. I am always tired. I find it hard to get out of bed. I don’t feel like eating much. I feel like eating all the time. I have lots of aches and pains that don’t go away. I have little to no sexual energy. I find it hard to focus and am very forgetful. I am mad at everybody and everything. I feel upset and fearful, but can’t figure out why. I don’t feel like talking to people. I feel like there isn’t much point to living, nothing good is going to happen to me. I don’t like myself very much. I feel bad most of the time. I think about death a lot. I even think about how I might kill myself.

    Other signs of bipolar disorder

    I go back and forth between feeling really “up” and feeling really “down.” My ups and downs cause problems at work and at home.

    If you checked several boxes in these lists, call your doctor. Take the lists to show your doctor. You may need to get a checkup and find out if you have bipolar disorder. Read more
