Hi Halliebeth!

I'm assuming this questionaire was done by the request of your GP? I'm assuming that because you mentioned having a physical. I think you should be properly assessed by a pdoc, who is better qualified that a GP is. I don't recall seeing any questions on there about depression which is certainly a part of BP. Do you get depressed? All those questions, IMHO, are to determine if you are experiencing BP hypomania or mania. It would appear by your answers that you do. I have no knowledge of ADD, so I can't offer any opinion on that. Maybe somebody else can here. Like I said though, there are no questions that relate to depression and I'm not sure what to think of your final answer of saying that the symptoms listed cause 'moderate problems' for you. As I said, I do think you need to be properly diagnosed by a pdoc to know for sure. Don't think I was much help.
