Adolescent Bipolar Disorder

Phenomenology and Treatment Implications

  • Chapter
Handbook of Depression in Children and Adolescents

Part of the book series: Issues in Clinical Child Psychology ((ICCP))

Abstract

Manic—Depressive Illness, or Bipolar Disorder as it has been designated since DSM-III (American Psychiatric Association, 1980), has captured the interest of clinicians and nonclinicians virtually since the beginning of recorded history. It is at once fascinating and almost inconceivable that an illness could render its sufferer so maniacal one moment, so depressed and immobile the next, and so absolutely normal the third. While its recurrent nature and protean manifestations were recognized intermittently over the centuries, Kraepelin (1921) was the first person to systematically and prospectively study hundreds of people afflicted in such a way that patterns could be observed in terms of symptom cluster, periodicity, and mood oscillation. Although replicated, the many individual and committee hours spent on the task have not significantly improved on his work.
