Could I have bipolar disorder?

Everyone has ups and downs. When mood swings include periods of unusually high energy or deep depression that affect daily life, people may wonder about bipolar disorder. This page offers a free educational screening — not a diagnosis.

Common signs associated with bipolar mood patterns

  • Periods of unusually elevated, irritable, or expansive mood
  • Needing less sleep without feeling tired during elevated periods
  • Increased talkativeness, racing thoughts, or distractibility
  • Episodes of low mood, loss of interest, or fatigue
  • Impulsive decisions or risky behavior during high periods
  • Mood changes significant enough to affect work or relationships
