Managing Bipolar Disorder is not simple or easy. Some tools are available here to help understand and monitor Bipolar Disorder:

Draw what's on your mind

Use our unique drawing tool to articulate your moods and thoughts graphically - save the results and share them with others.

Mood Questionnaire

This has recently been developed by mental health professionals to help assess if someone truly has Bipolar Disorder and, if so, what their particular challenges are. Please complete the questionnaire and take it with you to discuss with your health professional. It may help your medical professionals see what you are feeling.

Mood Diary

As Bipolar Disorder is characterised by extreme and sudden moods, this diary can help to monitor changes over time. As people with Bipolar Disorder often resist the idea that they have a mental illness, this mood diary may be particularly useful for self-analysis.
