2You sometimes feel over-energized or restless You have phases where you sleep less, talk more, or take on big ideas at once—then crash hard after.

3You struggle with irritability or impulsiveness Small things set you off, or you make choices that feel good in the moment but backfire later.

4You have long periods of depression You feel hopeless, flat, or withdrawn—sometimes for weeks. Even basic tasks feel too heavy to manage.

5Your relationships or work life suffer Mood shifts make it hard to keep commitments, meet expectations, or stay connected to others.

6You’ve been diagnosed with depression—but it doesn’t fully fit You’ve tried antidepressants or therapy, but nothing seems to stick—or it makes things worse.

7You don’t feel like yourself anymore You can’t always explain it—but you know something’s off. Your moods feel too big, too fast, or too hard to control.
