Childhood Bipolar Disorder

Childhood bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that affects mood regulation in children and adolescents. It involves extreme mood swings, including manic episodes characterized by high energy, irritability, and impulsiveness, and depressive episodes marked by sadness, low energy, and withdrawal. These mood shifts can disrupt daily activities, relationships, and academic performance. Diagnosing and treating childhood bipolar disorder can be complex, often requiring a comprehensive evaluation and a combination of therapy and medication. Early intervention is crucial for managing symptoms and helping children lead fulfilling lives.
