Bipolar Disorder - Children and Adolescents Can Children and Adolescents Have Bipolar Disorder? Both children and adolescents can develop bipolar disorder. It is more likely to affect the children of parents who have the illness. Unlike many adults with bipolar disorder, whose episodes tend to be more clearly defined, children and young adolescents with the illness often experience very fast mood swings between depression and mania many times within a day. Children with mania are more likely to be irritable and prone to destructive tantrums than to be overly happy and elated. Mixed symptoms also are common in youths with bipolar disorder. Older adolescents who develop the illness may have more classic, adult-type episodes and symptoms. Bipolar disorder in children and adolescents can be hard to tell apart from other problems that may occur in these age groups. For example, while irritability and aggressiveness can indicate bipolar disorder, they also can be symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or other types of mental disorders more common among adults such as major depression or schizophrenia. Drug abuse also may lead to such symptoms. For any illness, however, effective treatment depends on appropriate diagnosis. Children or adolescents with emotional and behavioral symptoms should be carefully evaluated by a mental health professional.

BIPOLAR DISORDER CHILDREN AND BIPOLAR DISORDER Research suggests that bipolar disorder may be at least as common in youth as in adults. But it can be hard to diagnose in young people because its symptoms differ somewhat from the classic symptoms found in adults, and because it can resemble other childhood mental disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). When manic, children and teenagers tend to be irritable and prone to destructive outbursts rather than elated or euphoric. When depressed, they may complain about physical problems such as headaches, stomachaches, or tiredness. Other signs of depression are frequent absences from and poor performance at school, complaining, unexplained crying, and social isolation. Bipolar disorder that begins in childhood may be more severe than the form that shows up in older teenagers and adults. Children with bipolar disorder often move quickly between mania and depression, and they may have depressive and manic symptoms at the same time. When to see the doctor Your child may have bipolar disorder if he or she shows signs of depression; is very distracted, hyperactive, or impulsive; and has extreme temper outbursts and mood changes. A psychiatrist or psychologist experienced with bipolar disorder should evaluate your child, especially if there is a family history of the illness. This evaluation is crucial: The disorder is often mistaken for ADHD, and many medicines prescribed for ADHD can worsen manic symptoms.

document.write("") About Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depressive Illness) Introduction Real life stories What are the symptoms? Who is likely to have it? ... AboutOurKids related articles by Robin F. Goodman, Ph.D. and Anita Gurian, Ph.D. Introduction Bipolar Disorder is characterized by intense, persistent mood swings between the poles of depression and mania. These moods are greatly intensified or clearly different from the youngster's usual personality and are far out of proportion to events in the environment in intensity and/or duration. To meet the criteria for this diagnosis, a person must have experienced the typical signs of depression - helplessness, hopelessness and worthlessness - as well as the signs of mania - grandiosity and exuberance. The disorder may be genetic and caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Medication is extremely successful in moderating the symptoms.

At her best, she felt on top of the world and would go on spending sprees at the mall, buying all her friends and acquaintances gifts because she cared so much about them. She is giddy and cheerful but can quickly become enraged. She wants to go to Hollywood to become a big movie star.

DIAGNOSING BIPOLAR VS. ADHD By Dr. Charles Popper Similarities Both disorders share many characteristics: impulsivity, inattention, hyperactivity, physical energy, behavioral and emotional lability (behavior and emotions change frequently), frequent coexistence of conduct disorder and oppositional-defiant disorder, and learning problems. Motor restlessness during sleep may be seen in both (children who are bipolar are physically restless at night when "high or manic",though they may have little physical motion during sleep when "low or depressed"). Family histories in both conditions often include mood disorder. Psychostimulants or antidepressants can help in both disorders (that is, depending on the phase of the bipolar disorder). In view of the similarities, it is not surprising that the disorders are hard to tell apart. Differences So what features can help in distinguishing these two disorders? Some distinctions are obvious. 1. Destructiveness may be seen in both disorders but differs in origin. Children who are ADHD often break things carelessly while playing ("non-angry destructiveness"), whereas the major destructiveness of children who are bipolar is not a result of carelessness, but tends to occur in anger. Children who are bipolar may exhibit severe temper tantrums, during which they release manic quantities of physical and emotional energy, sometimes with violence and property destruction. 2. The duration and intensity of angry outbursts and temper tantrums in the two disorders differs. Children who are ADHD usually calm down within 20-30 minutes, whereas children who are bipolar may continue to feel and act angry for over 30 minutes and even for 2-4 hours. The physical energy that a child with ADHD "puts out" during an outburst of anger could be mimicked by an adult who tries to "enact" the tantrum, whereas the energy generated by angry children who are bipolar could not be imitated by most adults without reaching exhaustion within a few minutes.

Bipolar Disorder and Children ...adapted from the National Mental Health Association www.nmba.org Many children and especially adolescents experience mood swings as a normal part of growing up, but when these feelings persist and begin to interfere with a child's ability to function in daily life, Bipolar Disorder could be the cause. Bipolar Disorder, also known as manic-depression, is a type of mood disorder marked by extreme changes in mood, energy levels and behavior. Symptoms can begin in early childhood but more typically emerge in adolescence or adulthood. Until recently, young people were rarely diagnosed with this disorder. Yet up to one-third of the 3.4 million children and adolescents with depression in the United States may actually be experiencing the early onset of Bipolar Disorder according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Doctors now recognize and treat the disorder in both children and adolescents, but it is still an under-recognized illness. Children with Bipolar Disorder usually alternate rapidly between extremely high moods (mania) and low moods (depression). These rapid mood shifts can produce irritability with periods of wellness between episodes - or the young person may feel both extremes at the same time. Parents who have children with the disorder often describe them as unpredictable, alternating between aggressive or silly and withdrawn. Children with Bipolar Disorder are at greater risk for anxiety disorders and Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity-Disorder (ADHD). These "co-occurring" disorders complicate diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder and contribute to the lack of recognition of the illness in children.

They are finding that bipolar disorder is just as common in children as it is in adults, and that many bipolar children may have been misdiagnosed over the years. Factors for Misdiagnosis Several factors may have contributed to the misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder. Doctors have been trained to diagnose teens and adults by the intense mood swings they exhibit for weeks or months at a time. In children, these mood swings appear in much faster cycles, usually many times within a day. In addition, Papolos explains to

Bipolar Disorder Bipolar Public Service Campaign What is Bipolar Disorder? Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is an illness involving one or more episodes of serious mania and depression. The illness causes a person’s mood to swing from excessively “high” and/or irritable to sad and hopeless, with periods of a normal mood in between. More than 2 million Americans suffer from bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood and continues throughout life. It is often not recognized as an illness and people who have it may suffer needlessly for years. Bipolar disorder can be extremely distressing and disruptive for those who have this disease, their spouses, family members, friends and employers. Although there is no known cure, bipolar disorder is treatable, and recovery is possible. Individuals with bipolar disorder have successful relationships and meaningful jobs. The combination of medications and psychotherapy helps the vast majority of people return to productive, fulfilling lives. “Bipolar disorder is treatable, and recovery is possible.”
