Zusammenfassung	The Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) is a 13-item self-report screening instrument designed to identify individuals at risk for bipolar spectrum disorders. Developed by Hirschfeld and colleagues in 2000, the MDQ assesses symptoms of mania and hypomania as well as the clustering of symptoms into distinct episodes. It is widely used in primary care, psychiatric practice, and research to improve detection of bipolar disorder.	The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) is a brief, five-item self-report measure of global life satisfaction developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffin in 1985. It assesses the degree to which individuals are satisfied with their lives as a whole, reflecting a cognitive-judgmental component of subjective well-being. The scale has become a cornerstone instrument in well-being research, psychology, gerontology, and quality-of-life assessment across diverse populations.
