Test for BP ?

Q.I score 38. But if anything, I am in a mild depression. So does this qualify as a "mixed state" "Hypo-mania"? If there is anything to this maniia index, I spend my entire life in a moderate to severe depression and a minor hypomaniia; in mixed states, all of the time. I mean, this is my life. The depression index is moderate to severe and the mania index was 38, also a moderate to severe rating. Heck, and I thought I was feeling good today. I'd be afraid to score this on a bad day

A."If you are suffering from feelings which are causing you concern and interfere with your daily functioning or if you are having thoughts of killing yourself or someone else, you should seek immediate treatment from a trained mental health professional within your community!" Anyone else find this beyond funny? Don't kill anyone until you've consulted someone. Sorry. It may be just me. Did you cheat? lol If you only got at 13, you can't participate anymore. Wait til you're more manic. Welcome to the group. :) Nice to see new faces all the time. They have one for the depression side too. Same place, just different section. I scored a 58 in that one. I'd like to see one for psychotic symptoms. Seriously, though -- the test asks questions like, "are you thinking about sex a lot", or "are you feeling particularly playful", as if those things are, by themselves, something to be concerned about. Why should anyone feel concerned because they've been feeling frisky lately?
