BSSQ
Bipolar Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (BSSQ)
The BSSQ is a self-report tool designed to screen for bipolar spectrum disorders. It helps identify symptoms consistent with bipolar disorder, particularly in patients who may not present with classic manic symptoms. It does not replace a clinical diagnosis but points the clinician toward a more in-depth assessment.
