StatCoder.com has begun beta testing a free screening tool for bipolar spectrum disorders. The Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) is a 13-item checklist developed by Robert M. A. Hirschfeld, MD, and published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
The questionnaire is an easy-to-use screening tool that can help you identify patients with bipolar disorder. Any patient who screens positive on the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) should have a full evaluation for bipolar disorder or for diseases presenting similar symptoms. This questionnaire is not intended as a diagnostic tool, but rather as a screening tool, that will help you identify how much suspicion one should have for bipolar disorder.
For Palm OS (or Pocket PC using the StyleTap platform).
