Transcultural validity of the Hypomania Checklist–32 (<scp>HCL</scp>‐32) in patients with major depressive episodes

The psychometric properties of the HCL-32-R2 were largely culture-independent. This finding replicates that of our previous international study and is a step towards validating the HCL-32-R2 as a broadly applicable screening instrument for hypomanic features, facilitating the detection of hidden bipolarity in depressed patients.
