Mood Disorder Questionnaire

The Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) is a screening tool designed to help identify possible mood disorders like bipolar disorder. It asks about various symptoms such as elevated mood, increased activity, and racing thoughts, and whether these symptoms have occurred together and caused difficulties. The questionnaire helps mental health professionals determine if further evaluation is needed. It is not a diagnosis but a first step to understanding mood-related issues, enabling individuals to seek appropriate care for their mental health concerns.
