Hypomania Checklist Validation
According to Meyer et al. the hypomania checklist is a good indicator of the diagnosis more so when comparing Bipolar Disorder to unipolar depression versus other diagnostic categories, such as anxiety, schizophrenia and more. This shows that the HCL-32 checklist is a valid predictor of most of those who have Bipolar Disorder, it is not however true that high scores of HCL-32 result in Bipolar Disorder. It was also stated that the HCL-32 can be used for seeking help for depression, however it shouldn't be the only thing used for diagnosing.

Hello, Pbarad, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please complete the student training, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.
