Fundamento clínico

What it measures

The MDQ screens for a lifetime history of manic or hypomanic symptoms. The full questionnaire also asks whether symptoms occurred during the same period and how much impairment they caused — this online version scores the 13 symptom items.

How it is scored

A positive screen requires 7 or more 'yes' answers, symptoms clustering in the same period, and moderate or serious functional impairment (Hirschfeld et al., 2000). Sensitivity is about 73% and specificity 90% in psychiatric outpatients.
