Bipolar Mood Charts

Bipolar Mood Charts are an excellent tool for parents who have a child with bipolar disorder. It provides a record to share with your child's doctors and can help detect episodes early.

In its simplest form, it is a daily record of your child's emotional state.

Keeping track of any medications given while charting behaviors is crucial to determine the effectiveness or any adverse effects of the medication. For example, careful charting may reveal that after every time a medication is administered, the child becomes anxious and weepy. If medication was not charted alongside the behavior, the correlation may be missed and the anxiety mislabeled as a separate diagnosis, resulting in additional, unnecessary medication.
