Are Your Mood Swings a Sign of Bipolar Disorder?

While we all experience ups and downs, the intensity and frequency of these changes can sometimes indicate an underlying mental health condition. Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by dramatic shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels that can affect your ability to carry out daily tasks.
It's not just about feeling happy one moment and sad the next—bipolar episodes can be intense and disruptive, lasting days, weeks, or longer. This quiz is designed to help you better understand your emotional patterns and whether they align with typical signs of bipolar disorder.
You'll answer a series of questions about your mood, behavior, and how you respond to different situations. While it's not a substitute for professional diagnosis, it can offer a clearer picture of your emotional health and guide you toward taking the next steps—whether that's speaking to a mental health professional or just gaining better self-awareness.
Here's how it works: you'll go through a set of multiple-choice questions that explore your recent emotional experiences. Answer honestly for the most accurate result.
At the end, you'll receive feedback that reflects common patterns linked to bipolar symptoms. Remember, this is just a fun and informative tool—not a medical assessment.
If anything resonates strongly, consider reaching out for a deeper conversation with a mental health expert. You've got this!
