LOINC long common name : Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale [BSDS];
LOINC description : The Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS) was designed to identify the milder variants
of bipolar disorder, such as bipolar II and bipolar not otherwise specified (NOS).
The patient-reported assessment consists of two parts: 1) a paragraph describing 19
symptoms of bipolar disorder in which the subject puts a check mark next to the sentences
that describes them; and 2) a multiple choice question that asks the subject to indicate
how well the paragraph describes them overall. [PMID:15708426];
