Bipolar Disorder Test – What to Expect
This bipolar disorder test focuses on both manic and depressive episodes. Since the symptoms of depression and mania are often contradictory, this online bipolar disorder test separates them into two distinct sections. Based on your scores in each section, you’ll receive a detailed explanation of your results, along with a recommendation for possible next steps.
If you doubt the accuracy of your results, feel free to retake the test or send us a message—we typically respond within 36 hours. You can also take this test on behalf of a friend or relative if you’re concerned about their wellbeing. Please note: this test is not intended for diagnostic purposes. It only provides an indication based on your answers.
Important: The plugin used for this questionnaire only records how many times the test has been viewed or completed. It does not collect IP addresses, names, emails, or any other personal information.

Bipolar disorder test – why is bipolar disorder so confusing?
Bipolar disorder is a complex mental health condition that can be difficult to understand and diagnose, largely due to the contradictory symptoms of mania and depression—and the nuanced diagnostic criteria for bipolar I and II.
For example:
In other words, both bipolar types can look very similar, which adds to the confusion.
When to Seek Help
A key factor in determining the seriousness of bipolar symptoms is whether they impair your ability to function at work, in relationships, or in daily life. If this is the case, we strongly recommend reaching out to a mental health professional for support and further assessment.
If your symptoms do not cause noticeable problems in your daily functioning, it may not be urgent to contact a professional—yet. Important note: During a manic or hypomanic episode, people often feel invincible—like they can do anything, create anything, and conquer the world. As a result, they usually do not take a bipolar disorder test or seek help. If you suspect that a friend or loved one is experiencing such an episode, you may consider taking the test on their behalf to get an indication of how they are functioning.
