Mood, energy, and activity belong together

Bipolar disorder involves episodes of marked changes in mood, energy, and activity. Everyday mood variation or a score from an app cannot establish a diagnosis. NIMH explains assessment and treatment options; these resources help you prepare observations for the professional who knows your history.

A bipolar mood journal can preserve changes in mood, energy, sleep, and daily context without reducing a whole day to “good” or “bad.” A personal rating is a description, not a test for a mood episode.

Use the guide to choose consistent labels, the log for dated observations, and the appointment notes tool for the changes you want to discuss. Keep your agreed support plan separate and easy to find. The companion app provides mood ranges and reports; neither the app link nor this website replaces clinical assessment or watches your entries for emergencies.

A bipolar mood log needs more than “good” or “bad”

Record mood, energy, and sleep separately so your notes preserve changes that a single score can hide.

A tool for bipolar mood

Sleep and energy change summary

Describe a change relative to your own usual pattern. Mood, energy, sleep and daily functioning belong together; no combination here is used to identify an episode.

Sleep and energy change summary

A sleep difference is not a mania, hypomania or depression score. Do not change medication based on this summary.
