Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

There is no online test for depression or bipolar disorder. Diagnosis is based upon clinical assessment. In your case, may be due to underline borderline personality, you are feeling mood swings. Better to consult a psychiatrist or psychologist and get your personality assessment done. That would be more beneficial for you.

Thanks
