Adults living with bipolar disorder, and clinicians supporting them, may find this printable mood monitoring PDF useful for tracking daily mood changes, depressive symptoms, manic or hypomanic signs, sleep-related changes and personal triggers. It is designed for simple self-monitoring between appointments, with space to record patterns and discuss them with a doctor, psychologist, therapist or mental health worker.
The Bipolar Mood and Symptom Monitoring Worksheet PDF is a printable self-monitoring tool for adults who want a structured way to record mood, sleep, symptoms and possible triggers over time. It can be used independently, in therapy sessions, during appointments, or as part of a wider wellbeing plan agreed with a qualified professional.
The weekly mood chart uses a simple -5 to +5 scale, helping users note depressed, balanced, elevated, irritable, manic or hypomanic patterns across each day. Clear sections guide people to identify when they feel steady, when changes may need closer attention, and when it may be useful to seek support or discuss concerns with their care team.
The symptom checklist covers areas often discussed in bipolar monitoring, including interest in activities, appetite, concentration, energy, sleep, agitation, feelings of guilt, suicidal thoughts, racing thoughts, increased activity and changes in confidence. Extra space is included for notes about circumstances linked with highs or lows, making the worksheet useful for reviewing recent patterns before an appointment, home learning about personal warning signs, or training discussions where appropriate.
Download or print the worksheet to complete regularly and bring it to conversations with a GP, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist or mental health worker. Produced by the Centre for Clinical Interventions.
