New lifetime mania test

People can now measure their lifetime experience of mania through a new web questionnaire developed by Cardiff University School of Medicine researchers. The Bipolar Lifetime Mania Scale is the same test as that undertaken by entertainer Stephen Fry last year when he came to Cardiff to film a BBC documentary about his own struggle with bipolar. The test measures an individual’s place on the mania spectrum. At one end are those who have severe and frequent manic episodes and the other are those who have only mild and infrequent periods of elevated mood, if any at all.
