Alcohol/Drug Self Test

Here is an on-line depression self-test provided by the UK’s NHS Choices health website.
Bipolar Self-Evaluation
In reviewing a number of available on-line self-tests for Bipolar Disorder, we observed that they tend to be too inclusive, i.e., most people might score in the bipolar range. Here are some characteristics to consider; this is not a validated test, and there is no score, but if one or more items sound very familiar, we would suggest seeing one of us or another licensed mental health clinician for an evaluation.
