Bipolar Mood Tracker

Daily tracking with specific symptoms increases insight about symptoms, as well as early recognition - each person may have a different onset and recognizing those first signs allows us to change lifestyle behaviors. This form provides a simple model to track mood from +5 (manic) to -5 (depressed) including the symptoms of each condition. Rating this daily has multiple benefits. It increases your awareness of your symptoms and early warning signs. It results in a graphic depiction of your mood over-time, which helps you reflect on mood changes and things that improve or negatively impact your mood. Some examples of symptoms include the following. Mania or hypomonai involves decreased need for sleep, impulsivity, gregariousness or being more talkative than usual, racing thoughts, new ideas or business plans, euphoria or euphoric mood, and grandiosity or inflated self-esteem. Depression, on the other hand, involves sadness or low mood and/or anhedonia or decreased interest or enjoyment in previously enjoyable activities, low esteem, low energy or fatigue, low motivation, and eating or sleep changes.
