| Abstract | Today, as many as 1 million American children are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and the number is growing rapidly. As a result, many parents are wrestling with questions such as: How do I really know if my child has bipolar disorder? How young is too young to medicate my child? And, can a wrong diagnosis be dangerous or even deadly?; The bipolar surge is the most controversial area in child psychiatry today because the disorder was traditionally thought to be an adult disorder, and because the illness is treated with drugs that are approved for use in adults, but not in children. A movement to increase drug testing in children is underway, and controversial breakthroughs in genetic testing techniques are on the verge of entering the market. However, a larger issue lies behind why the number of pediatric bipolar cases is on the rise and cries out to be heard. |
