“…Anthony & Scott (1960) imposed strict criteria on cases taken from the literature and excluded all but three, to which they added one of their own. Depressive episodes were commoner but manic phases lasting several weeks were encountered in the course of the illness in two children, both aged 11 (Dussik, 1934;McHarg, 1954). Spiel (1961) reported seven cases of manicdepressive psychosis occurring in children under the age of 10, of whom two had hypomania as the first manifestation.…”

SynopsisThe case-history of a woman with psychiatric symptoms since childhood is reported, the best label for which was that of ‘chronic mania’. Cerebellar atrophy was suspected on radiological grounds. The literature on chronic mania in childhood and on cerebellar damage and mental changes is reviewed and the view is put forward that cerebellar dysfunction may play a part in the production of some psychiatric symptoms.

Criteria for mania in children have been established on the basis of criteria for mania in adults. Mania in children is an episodic disorder characterized by marked irritability and agitation, a considerable increase in activity level, push of speech, sleep disturbances, distractability, and noticeable mood instability that persists for longer than one month. Euphoria is frequently present in children with mania and is manifested as an adamant denial of any illness or problem. Previous reports have not stressed the characteristic appearance of depressive symptoms, such as hopelessness and helplessness, crying spells, death wishes, and beliefs of persecution, all of which can occur during the manic episode in children.
