0–7 points: Low

Your answers don’t show many features consistent with bipolar disorder. That doesn’t mean that you don’t have it. It’s still important to talk to a provider because how you are experiencing could be consistent with something else, such as trauma, anxiety, or depression. It’s important to find out what is going on.

8–15 points: Some features present

You reported experiencing some mood changes or other symptoms. This doesn’t confirm bipolar disorder, but it's still a good idea to explore what is going on with a mental health professional.

16–23 points: Strong indication

If you have scored in this range, it’s definitely a good idea to talk to a mental health professional to see what is going on. You have some features that are consistent with hypomania/mania/depression.

24+ points: Highly suggestive

This score reflects many experiences associated with bipolar disorder. Please reach out to a therapist or psychiatrist for a comprehensive assessment.
