Bipolar Risk Interview

Bipolar Risk Interview (Non‑Validated)

Description

This is an original, non‑validated interview guide for exploring bipolar risk factors. It is not diagnostic and should not be used as a screening instrument.

Use Cases

• When clinical history suggests possible bipolar spectrum features
• When antidepressant response has been atypical or poor
• When family history suggests bipolar disorder

Interactive Mode (Lightweight)

Use this mode when the clinician asks to go step-by-step.

1. Confirm this is a non-validated interview guide and check readiness.
2. Ask one prompt at a time from the interview guide and wait for a response.
3. Summarize key points and confirm accuracy before moving on.
4. At the end, synthesize risk factors, red flags, and functional impact with suggested next steps.
