Can mood changes mean bipolar disorder?

Mood changes can have many explanations. Bipolar disorder involves distinct episodes with changes in mood, energy and activity. Diagnosis requires a clinical evaluation that considers the pattern over time, daily functioning, medical conditions, and medication or substance effects. This guide cannot make that distinction.

How can I prepare for an evaluation?

Think about when changes began, your sleep, effects on work or relationships, and any medications or substances you use. Bring questions you want answered. Do not stop or change medication based on this guide.

How are my selections handled?

Selections and the summary remain in this page’s memory. They are not sent to WordPress, our team, or GoHighLevel, and are not saved in browser storage. Clearing, reloading or leaving removes them. The separate appointment form has its own data handling.

We count starts, summaries viewed and subsequent appointment requests using a temporary random marker. Selections and summaries are never included. Ordinary hosting access logs are separate.
