Rezumat	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 Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-10 (K10) is a 10-item self-report measure of non-specific psychological distress and mental health problems. Developed by Kessler and colleagues in 2002, the K10 was designed as an ultra-brief screening instrument for population surveys and epidemiological research. A shorter 6-item version (K6) is also widely used for rapid case identification.
