Bipolar disorder in children is often confused with other behavioral challenges. Rapid cycling through highs and lows can hinder learning, relationships, and emotional development. Identifying these signs early allows for appropriate intervention and better outcomes.

Symptoms

  • Extremely happy, silly, or euphoric mood
  • Inflated self-esteem or feelings of grandiosity
  • Decreased need for sleep
  • Pressured speech
  • Racing thoughts or distractibility
  • Restlessness or increased activity
  • Risk-taking behavior

Causes

  • Genetics
  • Brain chemical imbalances
  • Brain structure differences
  • Environmental stress
  • Coexisting mental health conditions
  • Complications if left untreated:

It’s important to note that Pediatric Bipolar Disorder (PBD) is a complex mental health condition, and symptoms can vary significantly from one child to another.
