Estimate cycling pace using episodes, days, and severity. Spot patterns, compare periods, and export results. Track changes with practical metrics for better review today.
| Tracking Days | Depressive | Elevated | Mixed | Severity | Pattern | Frequency Rate | Risk Band |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 4.5 | Episodic | 1.46 | Low |
| 90 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 6.5 | Rapid | 4.50 | High |
| 45 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 7.5 | Mixed Heavy | 22.02 | Very High |
| 30 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 8.0 | Ultradian | 35.82 | Very High |
Weighted Episodes = (Depressive × 1.00) + (Elevated × 1.15) + (Mixed × 1.35)
30 Day Weighted Rate = (Weighted Episodes ÷ Tracking Days) × 30
Severity Factor = Severity Index ÷ 5
Persistence Factor = minimum 2.00 and maximum 0.75 to 2.00 range, based on (Average Episode Duration ÷ Days Between Episodes) + 0.75
Frequency Rate = 30 Day Weighted Rate × Severity Factor × Pattern Factor × Persistence Factor
Stability Score = 100 − (Frequency Rate × 10) − (Burden Share × 0.35)
Mood changes can feel difficult to summarize. Notes alone may not show pattern strength. This calculator converts episode counts, severity, spacing, and duration into one practical review rate. It supports self tracking. It also supports structured discussion. It is not a diagnostic tool. It is a record keeping aid.
The method starts with episode totals. It then adds type weights. Mixed episodes receive the highest weight. Elevated states receive a smaller adjustment. Next, the score is normalized to a 30 day period. This makes short and long tracking windows easier to compare. Severity adds intensity. Pattern type adds context. Duration versus spacing adds persistence.
Two people can report the same number of episodes. Their pattern may still differ. One person may have long gaps and short episodes. Another may have tighter spacing and heavier burden. That difference matters. Recurrence interval helps estimate clustering. Burden days show how much of the full observation window was affected. Stability score then provides a simple summary view.
Use the frequency rate for period to period comparison. Use the risk band as a quick flag. Use stability as a balance measure. Lower stability usually means tighter clustering, stronger severity, or heavier burden. Do not rely on one isolated period. Review trends across several windows. Consistent tracking usually improves pattern visibility and reporting quality.
Choose one observation window and keep it consistent. Ninety days often works well. Record episode type using the same definitions each time. Save exports for follow up review. Compare changes after sleep shifts, stress changes, seasonal patterns, or treatment updates. If symptoms feel unsafe, urgent, or overwhelming, seek professional support immediately. This page organizes data. It does not replace care.
CSV and PDF downloads help preserve a clean record. Structured records reduce recall bias. They also make it easier to compare months, seasons, and symptom clusters. A saved report can support clearer conversations with a clinician, counselor, or trusted supporter. Small pattern changes often become easier to notice when data is stored consistently.
It estimates how frequently mood episodes appear within a tracking window. It also adjusts for severity, episode type, spacing, and duration.
No. It is only a structured tracking aid. It cannot diagnose bipolar disorder, depression, or any other mental health condition.
Mixed episodes can reflect greater complexity and burden. The added weight helps the final rate reflect that higher pattern intensity.
Episode count alone can miss intensity. Severity helps separate mild frequent changes from fewer but more disruptive periods.
Many people use 30, 60, or 90 days. A consistent window gives better comparisons across time.
It is a quick summary measure. Higher values suggest wider spacing and lower burden. Lower values suggest tighter clustering and stronger disruption.
Yes. After calculation, use the CSV or PDF buttons to save the current inputs, summary values, and report text.
That can be useful. A structured record may support clearer conversations, especially when symptoms vary across weeks or months.
