You can find free and confidential screening tools on our website to help detect symptoms of depression and mania (a sign of bipolar disorder). They can help identify whether you may have one of these conditions. Take the results of the screening to your doctor and talk with them about a possible diagnosis. Mood disorders need treatment and early diagnosis is very important. Most treatment plans include a combination of medication, talk therapy, and support. Avoiding treatment out of embarrassment or shame—or because you can believe you can “snap out of it”—is a dangerous decision. Getting help is important.
