What is this test for?
This questionnaire helps you put words to seasonal changes in mood, energy, sleep and light sensitivity and see whether a more specific conversation or professional opinion could be useful. It is an orientation tool, not a verdict.
Who is it for?
For adults answering for themselves, privately, when they want a first marker before choosing a specialised test or talking to a professional.
How does it work?
You answer a short set of statements. The result is computed locally in your browser and gives a gentle reading of what stands out, with next steps and related tests when relevant.
The science behind this test
This MoodTrakr orientation questionnaire is based on the public guidance and references cited below. It does not reproduce proprietary clinical instruments and does not replace a clinical evaluation.
Full transparency
Non-diagnostic orientation questionnaire. The score is not a probability of having a disorder; it is a structured reflection aid.
- Questionnaire MoodTrakr original, non validé : il ne diagnostique pas un trouble affectif saisonnier.
- La saisonnalité se confirme mieux avec des données répétées qu’avec un souvenir global.
- Une remontée d’énergie très brusque avec peu de sommeil peut aussi évoquer une autre piste d’humeur : le test bipolaire peut aider à situer.
The reference tests used by professionals
This questionnaire replaces none of the tools used in consultation. Here are the ones professionals actually use:
- Suivi prospectif humeur/sommeil/énergie — particulièrement utile pour objectiver un pattern saisonnier sur plusieurs mois
- SPAQ — questionnaire historique de saisonnalité, avec limites connues, non reproduit ici
- Avis médical — important si la baisse saisonnière est intense, récurrente ou associée à des idées noires
Frequently asked questions
Is this a diagnosis?
No. It is an orientation questionnaire. Only a qualified professional can diagnose after a full assessment.

Yes. The calculation happens in your browser. You can later save the result encrypted in the app if you wish.
What should I do with the result?
Keep it as a calm note. If it resonates or worries you, bring it to a health professional or someone you trust.
