50/50 ?

[boxtops]

I wouldn't - this sort of thing can be way off beam. If anyone thinks they are bipolar, they need a proper clinical diagnosis - you can't diagnose yourself from doing a quiz. This sort of thing gives people information without any of the underlying support they need, if they self-diagnose that they have a condition.

It would appear to be an American site. If youre American and don't suffer from some sort of mental disorder, you're nobody.

Especially if you're president!

[Prudie]

It depends what mood I'm in

[rojash]

I'm off to drop some uppers, see if I can't score better.

Boxy has summed it up beautifully......there seems to be quite a lot of these self diagnosis, tick the boxes, going around.
Probably of limited value at best.

[rowanwitch]

According to that I have moderate to severe symptoms but years of contact with mental health services haven't picked it up so I think its pretty inaccurate

I scored 43 but it's a complete load of old rollax- I wouldn't pay any attention to it at all, as all the questions are loaded and can have other reasons for the answer that will target you as being bi-polar.

er...none? you can't diagnose anything online. and i'm at work in my lunchbreak at the inpatient psychiatric unit where i work (on my phone). you would have to assess somebody properly to get a diagnosis and most of those questions are ones that you wouldn't necessarily ask.
