Periods of unusually elevated, energized, or irritable mood can sometimes be important to discuss, especially when they come with major changes in sleep, activity, confidence, or judgment. This check-in looks for that pattern without trying to diagnose bipolar disorder.
This tool is designed for self-reflection and support navigation. It is not a diagnosis. Results should be interpreted in context, especially when symptoms are severe, persistent, or affecting daily life.
About the evidence: Project Semicolon custom mood-elevation check-in. It is not the MDQ, RMS, or another validated bipolar screening instrument.
Project Semicolon reviews assessment wording, scoring logic, safety routing, and source status separately from the directory experience. Custom check-ins are clearly distinguished from validated instruments.
We store the completed assessment type, result band, score when applicable, limited secondary signals, and basic engagement events for aggregate metrics. Raw question responses are not stored.
This assessment is a screening and support-navigation tool, not a diagnosis or substitute for professional medical care.
