The Hypomania Checklist (HCL-32) is a questionnaire developed by Dr. Jules Angst to identify hypomanic components in patients with major depressive disorder in order to help clinicians diagnose bipolar II disorder and other bipolar spectrum disorders presented in psychiatric and general medical practice. The development of a final and potentially shorter multi-lingual version with established cut-off scores for hypomania is a secondary goal. ==Development and history== The HCL-32 was developed as a more useful method to test hypomania and essentially aid in epidemiological research. The test itself was made a self-assessment screening internment. The Hypomania Checklist was developed because attempts to screen for bipolar focused on the identifying individuals at risk for developing mood disorders in non-clinical populations. The measures were specifically for personality and did not address the episodic nature of hypomania and potential negative consequences of any changes in behavior, affect and cognition. The scale includes a checklist of possible symptoms of hypomania that can be rated either yes or no. The rating "yes" would mean the symptom is present or this trait is "typical of me" and "no" would mean the symptom is not present or this trait is "not typical of me" for the subject.“ 〔http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16125784〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HCL-32 -->The Hypomania Checklist (HCL-32) is a questionnaire developed by Dr. Jules Angst to identify hypomanic components in patients with major depressive disorder in order to help clinicians diagnose bipolar II disorder and other bipolar spectrum disorders presented in psychiatric and general medical practice.
