About Us

Feeling lost in a sea of emotional highs and lows? We created Bsds.me as a safe harbor for initial clarity, helping you understand your experiences through a trusted, scientific lens.

The Genesis of Clarity

Bsds.me was born from a simple yet profound observation: too many people navigate their mental health journey alone, lacking a credible first step. We set out to create a free, private, and accessible tool based on the scientifically validated Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS). By integrating optional AI analysis, we offer deeper, personalized insights to help bridge the gap between self-wondering and professional consultation.

Early 2024 — The Spark of an Idea

The concept for Bsds.me emerged from the need for a credible, accessible first step for individuals questioning their emotional experiences, aiming to bridge the gap to professional help.

June 2025 — Official Launch

Bsds.me goes live, focusing on a seamless user experience, multi-language accessibility, and a faithful implementation of the BSDS assessment to serve a global audience.

September 2025 — AI-Powered Insights Introduced

We launch an optional, AI-driven personalized report, offering users a deeper layer of analysis to better understand their results, while reinforcing that the tool is not a substitute for diagnosis.

The 2026 Outlook

Our focus turns to expanding educational resources, enhancing personalization, and continually refining our platform to better support users on their path to seeking professional wellness support.
