Childhood severe mental illness bipolar disorder in children 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, cometimes called manic depression, could be the cause. Bipolar disorder is a type of mood disorder marked by extreme changes in mood, energy levels and behaviour. causes of bipolar disorder in children The illness tends to be highly genetic in origin, but there are clearly environmental factors that influence whether the illness will occur in a particular child. Bipolar disorder can skip generations and take different forms in different individuals. For the general population, there is a 1% risk of having bipolar disorder. When one parent has bipolar disorder, the risk to each child is 15-30%. When both parents have bipolar disorder, the risk increased to 50-75%. The risk of siblings and fraternal twins is 15-25%. The risk in identical twins is approximately 70%. symptoms of bipolar disorder Symptoms can begin in early childhood but more typically emerge in adolescence or adulthood. Research by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry shows that up to 1/3 of 3.4 million children and adolescents with depression in the United States may actually be experiencing the early onset of bipolar disorder.

The information in this column is not meant to be a substitute for face-to-face evaluation and treatment by a physician. by Gonzalo Laje, M.D. Bipolar disorder in children tables for diagnostic criteria). Symptoms of these different disorders can overlap, making diagnosis even more complicated. For example, ADHD and a manic episode as seen in bipolar disorder are both characterized by excessive activity, impulsive behavior, poor judgment and the denial of problems. In adults, ADHD is distinguished from a manic episode by its characteristic early onset (i.e., before age seven), its chronic rather than episodic course, its lack of relatively clear onsets and offsets, and the absence of abnormally expansive or elevated mood or psychotic features like delusions or hallucinations. However, in children these features may be difficult to assess. The focus of experts' debates revolves around distinguishing ADHD and bipolar disorder given the overlap in such symptoms as distractibility, motor hyperactivity and talkativeness. Consequently, diagnoses tend to vary depending on the clinician. Some experts see childhood bipolar disorder as more consistent with the equivalent of mixed episodes in adults and with a course of illness more chronic than in adults, where it is episodic. It is understandable that parents are bewildered when facing a situation where clinicians give their child different diagnoses and wonder which diagnosis is accurate and what is really wrong with their child.

Eva Gerasi , postgraduate student in the Department of Psychiatry, University Hospital of Ioannina, Greece. First version: 20 Aug 2003. Latest revision: 22 Sep 2003. Is it easy to diagnose bipolar disorder in children and adolescents? Answer: 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. Any child or adolescent who has suicidal feelings, talks about suicide, or attempts suicide should be taken seriously and should receive immediate help from a mental health specialist.

Early Onset Bipolar Disorder in Children and Adolescents: A Brief Overview By Beth Warner, PhD, Director, University Parent Consultation and Child Evaluation Service, University of MD at College Park; Jessica Parr, School Psychology graduate student, University of Maryland; Tammy Alexander, School-Based Health Care Consultant; and Laura Brey, Associate Director National Assembly on School-Based Health Care According to the National Institutes of Mental Health and the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation, 1-2% of adolescents meet the criteria for bipolar disorder and 5-7% for bipolar spectrum disorders (such as mild cycling and recurrent depression). Although prevalence rates are similar to adults, bipolar is manifested differently in children and early- to- middle adolescents than in adults. Differences include: major depression marked by chronic irritability; mania that may include insomnia, hyperactivity, daredevil acts, elation and grandiose thinking; racing thoughts, separation anxiety and intense temper tantrums (also called "rages" or "affective storms"), which can occur during depression or mania; symptoms of both mania and depression, which may occur together in mixed states (depressed mood with high energy) or in quick succession within a single day (called rapid cycling); and

Bipolar Affective Disorder Manic Depression Links Childhood Bipolar Cyclothymia Books ... remove frames Bipolar Affective Disorder is a serious mental illness in which the sufferer will experience extreme mood swings, varying from very low (depression) to very high or periods of elation (mania). There will be periods of 'normality' between the 2 extremes. These periods of normal mood may be increasingly prolonged as the person's mood is stabilised with medication. During these times, the person will lead a relatively normal life. 1 in 100 people will suffer with manic depression at some point in their lives. It can start at any time, and affects both sexes equally. Even children can be affected, when it can sometimes be easily confused with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). See Childhood Bipolar links below Symptoms See Depression page for symptoms of depression. In mania, a person may experience all or some of the following symptoms: full of energy feeling very important talking very quickly spending lots of money uninhibited (inc. sexually)

Alston, M.D.  Historically, mental health professionals have long associated Attention Deficit Disorder with Reactive Attachment Disorder. It is true that children who have been abused and/or neglected do have attentional problems secondary to their abusive circumstances or brain maturational problems. Experts have put this correlation of ADD and RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) at between 40% and 70% for either abused/neglected children and/or adopted children.  In my experience as psychiatric consultant to the Attachment Center at Evergreen since 1977, as well as within my own private practice and consultations with other attachment programs and adoption agencies in which I supervise psychotherapists who work with attachment disorders, I have come to realize that Attention Deficit Disorder is vastly overdiagnosed in this clinical population, leading to inadequate, even contraindicated treatment. I have concluded that correlations between Bipolar Disorder and Reactive Attachment Disorder are indeed much more common. This conclusion has led to different, and in my experience, much more effective medical treatment plans for these children.  I have reached the above conclusion gradually over the last several years. In the past twenty five years, since my graduation from medical school, I have diagnosed and treated approximately 3,500 cases of ADD and approximately 1,000 cases of Bipolar Disorder. Particularly in my role as a consultant to The Attachment Center at Evergreen program, it has been my professional privilege and pleasure to assess and treat children from all over the United States and at least a few foreign countries. In my experience, this miscorrelation between ADD and Reactive Attachment Disorder is international.

All those with bipolar disorder experience mood swings that alternate from periods of severe highs (mania) to severe lows (depression). However, while these abnormally intense moods usually last for weeks or months in adults with the illness, children with bipolar disorder can experience such rapid mood swings that they commonly cycle many times within a day. The most typical pattern of cycling among those with COBPD, called ultra-ultra rapid or ultradian, is most often associated with low arousal states in the mornings followed by increases in energy towards late afternoon or evening. It is not uncommon for the initial episode of COBPD to present itself as major depression. But as clinical investigators have followed the course of the disorder in children, they have observed a significant rate of transition from depression into bipolar mood states.
