“…O'Connell et al (17) found a high incidence of mood disturbance, socio pathy, and maladjustment during interviews with the offspring of lithium-responding manicdepressive probands. Amtell (3) reported a simi lar broad range of mood and behavioral symp toms in her manic child patients as did Wein berg and Bmmback (23) in their study of 5 manic children. Waters (22) in his extensive review of risk factors in bipolar illness, points out tlrat because of methodological flaws, studies of children of bipolar patients have failed to show any homologous behavioral ante cedents to the later development of their own bipolar disease.…”

“…Puig-Antich et al (18) and Cytryn and McKandrew (7) found strong family histories of the depressive illness in the background of their latency in agedepressed children and Weinberg and Brumback (23) found histories of depression in the par ents of their manic patients. Again the relative ly young mean age of our offspring population may be a factor in explaining the absence of more formal psychiatric illness in this popula tion of offspring.…”

40 randomly selected patients with bipolar, unipolar and schizoaffective illness were interviewed about their 85 male and female first-degree offspring using the Conner’s Parent Questionnaire and the Greenhill Brief Sociopathy Scale. Although there was a conspicuous absence of homologous illness in the offspring, the highest incidence of psychiatric symptoms was found in male offspring and adopted offspring of all diagnostie categories and the male and female children of bipolar parents. One third of the bipolar probands and one-fourth of the unipolar probands were reported by their parents to have motor-behavior problems. The symptom profile may be the harbinger to forbode more formal psychiatric difficulties in adulthood.

“…At the time of its original description, child psychiatry was extensively influenced by psychoanalytic concepts according to which young children were precluded from a diagnosis of depression (and hence of manic disorder) because their superego was not sufficiently developed. Depression in childhood is now extensively acknowledged (Rutter and Garmezy, 1983) and mania has been described and reviewed by Weinberg and Brumback (1976). The phenomenological similarity between childhood mania and hyperkinesis is compelling (Table 2).…”

Psychiatry and neurology are well-established as separate disciplines and they may view an issue of mutual concern, such as affective disorder in people with epilepsy, from such different premises that the important synthesis of behavioural neurology, or neuropsychiatry, will be made ineffective. Nosological problems stemming from the use of diagnostic manuals are discussed and revealed in case reports. Reports of affective disorder in persons with brain disorders are relatively rare, possibly as a consequence of nosological problems which stem from a maintenance of a tradition of "functional" disorder. New cases of bipolar disorder and organic mania are given with commentary on the preponderant lateralization of cerebral dysfunction to the right cerebral hemisphere in manic cases.

“…For example, Weinberg and Brumback [20] created criteria to diagnose mania in children. These criteria, which included symptoms of euphoric or irritable mood, hyperactive behavior, and flight of ideas, served as the basis for the DSM-III bipolar disorder criteria.…”

Bipolar Disorder in Children

et al. 2014

Although bipolar disorder historically was thought to only occur rarely in children and adolescents, there has been a significant increase in children and adolescents who are receiving this diagnosis more recently (Carlson, 2005). Nonetheless, the applicability of the current bipolar disorder diagnostic criteria for children, particularly preschool children, remains unclear, even though much work has been focused on this area. As a result, more work needs to be done to further the understanding of bipolar symptoms in children. It is hoped that this paper can assist psychologists and other health service providers in gleaning a snapshot of the literature in this area so that they can gain an understanding of the diagnostic criteria and other behaviors that may be relevant and be informed about potential approaches for assessment and treatment with children who meet bipolar disorder criteria. First, the history of bipolar symptoms and current diagnostic criteria will be discussed. Next, assessment strategies that may prove helpful for identifying bipolar disorder will be discussed. Then, treatments that may have relevance to children and their families will be discussed. Finally, conclusions regarding work with children who may have a bipolar disorder diagnosis will be offered.
