The MDQ is a three-part questionnaire designed to screen for a history of manic or hypomanic episodes -- the experiences associated with bipolar disorder. Part 1 asks about lifetime experiences. Parts 2 and 3 ask follow-up questions about those experiences. A positive result requires specific criteria across all three parts.
Screening criteria
If you are in crisis or need to talk to someone right now: call or text 988 (Suicide Crisis Helpline, available across Canada, 24 hours a day). You do not need to be in immediate danger to call.
What you can do with this
Bring it in
Tell your doctor your Part 1 count and how Parts 2 and 3 came out. It gives them a clear picture to work from.
Share it
Show it to someone you trust. Sometimes having words for it is the first step.
Keep it
You do not have to do anything with it right now. Sometimes just having language for your own history is enough.
