Mapping Your Warning Signs Across Key Domains

DepressionWorksheetFree Resource

Effective bipolar disorder management depends on recognizing your unique warning signs before an episode fully develops. While clinical literature identifies common indicators, the specific signs that matter most are the ones you personally experience. This worksheet helps you map your individual warning signs across several domains so you can spot patterns early and take action.

For each domain listed below, describe the changes you typically notice when a depressive or manic episode is approaching. Be as specific as possible, drawing on your past experiences. Share this completed worksheet with your treatment provider and a trusted support person.
