Your Results: Noticeable Signs of Mood Dysregulation

Your results reflect patterns that may align with bipolar spectrum symptoms. While this is not a diagnosis, it indicates that your mood changes are significant enough to explore further with a mental health provider.

Bipolar disorder includes:

• Periods of elevated mood (mania or hypomania) — increased energy, racing thoughts, impulsive behavior

• Depressive episodes — deep sadness, fatigue, hopelessness, withdrawal

It can take many forms. Some people fluctuate every few weeks or months, while others experience rapid shifts. There’s also a spectrum—from Bipolar I and II to Cyclothymia (a milder but persistent version).

 Understanding Bipolar Disorder:

• It’s not just being “moody” or “emotional”

• Episodes can feel empowering or destructive—sometimes both

• Many people go years without realizing they’re cycling through extremes

This screening may be the first time you’ve put words to what’s been happening. That’s a big step.

What You Can Do:

• Share these results with a mental health provider

• Track your mood, energy levels, and behavior over the next few weeks

• Take our Depression, Anxiety, or Mania screenings for more insight

The more you learn about your patterns, the better equipped you’ll be to navigate them.
