The Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale
Today I introduce the Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS). This scale is based off of the Bipolar Clinical Scale developed by Dr. Ronald Pies, later to be refined by Dr. S. Nassir Ghaemi and colleagues. Pies developed this test to detect bipolar disorder within the treatment-resistant depression population. The BSDS is based off the most helpful questions Pies developed.
The cool thing about this scale is that it is designed to detect not just bipolar I and bipolar II, but also “softer” versions of bipolar disorder like other bipolar and related disorders (previously known as bipolar NOS).
The BSDS was scientifically validated and has a 0.85 specificity. (Yes, this means it doesn’t catch all cases of bipolar disorder. No test can be expected to.) Readmore
