A Guided 15-Question MDQ Screening
Bipolar Test starts with a plain-language introduction to the Mood Disorder Questionnaire, then invites the user to begin with Start Test. The flow is organized as a short self-report screen rather than an open-ended journal, so the task stays focused from the first prompt. A visible progress bar shows where the user is in the sequence, while the close control keeps it easy to pause and return later.
Each question presents a concrete mood or behavior statement with Yes and No choices. Continue advances only after a response is selected, and Back lets users revisit an earlier answer. The opening copy also makes clear that the questionnaire cannot diagnose bipolar disorder; it is a structured starting point for deciding what to discuss with a doctor or mental-health professional.
Symptom Prompts That Keep the Task Focused
The questionnaire turns broad concerns into specific prompts about times when a person may have felt unlike their usual self. Early screens ask about feeling unusually good or hyper, getting into trouble, becoming irritable, shouting, fighting, or arguing. This concrete wording helps users think about recognizable experiences instead of trying to summarize their mood in a single sentence.
The one-question-per-screen layout leaves space to consider each answer before moving on. A selected choice is highlighted, the progress indicator updates as the user continues, and the close and Back controls provide simple navigation. The result is a compact, repeatable self-report routine that can help someone organize observations before a healthcare conversation.
Results and Bipolar Information in One Place
Beyond the questionnaire, Bipolar Test includes a Result area intended to help users understand what their answers may indicate and find tailored resources. It gives the screening exercise a useful next step: instead of ending with a row of checkboxes, users can return to the meaning of the responses and identify questions worth raising with a clinician.
An Information area adds background on bipolar-spectrum disorder and related resources for readers who want more context. These tools suit someone who is learning about mood patterns, preparing for an appointment, or supporting a family member. They should be read as educational guidance around a screening questionnaire, not as a clinical verdict or a substitute for professional assessment.
A Practical Starting Point for Health Conversations
The app fits a brief, private check-in when a person wants a structured way to reflect on mood, energy, activity, and irritability. It can be useful before a primary-care or mental-health appointment, especially when someone wants to remember examples and describe them clearly. The simple Yes-or-No format also makes the exercise approachable for a supporter helping another person prepare questions.
Bipolar Test is most useful as a conversation aid. A high or concerning score does not establish a diagnosis, and a low score does not rule out every mood condition. Use the questionnaire alongside professional advice, emergency support when needed, and the person's broader history. The app's plain introduction keeps that boundary visible while users move through the prompts.
