This check-in is an original educational self-reflection tool. It is not a validated psychological assessment, diagnostic instrument, crisis evaluation, or substitute for professional evaluation. A high result does not establish bipolar disorder, and a low result does not rule it out. Bipolar disorders involve distinct episodes—not simply frequent mood changes. Similar experiences can occur with ADHD, trauma, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, substance use, sleep deprivation, medical conditions, and medication effects. A clinician evaluates episode duration, change from baseline, severity, impairment, hospitalization or psychosis, family history, substances and medications, safety, and alternative explanations.
