Abstract

Bipolar disorder in children and adolescents is a clinical disorder that causes public mental health problems that need attention. In the last decade, bipolar disorder in children and adolescents has become a trendy field, both in the clinical area and in research, especially in terms of diagnosis, which is still controversial. The controversy that remains is whether it is possible to diagnose bipolar disorder in prepubertal children. Based on the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria, the prevalence of the bipolar disorder in children scarce rare. Epidemiological studies report the lifetime prevalence of bipolar I and II disorders in late adolescence is about 1 per cent. Various studies in a large population have shown a prevalence rate of 0.1% -2%. The onset of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents is often accompanied by a more severe disease course, compared to bipolar disorder with onset in adulthood. This case report presents a case of bipolar 1 in children accompanied by comprehensive management.
