In psychiatry, bipolar disorder is a "major affective disorder marked by severe mood swings (manic or major depressive episodes) and a tendency to remission and recurrence." [1]
Bipolar disorder is a controversial diagnosis in children and adolescents.[2][3]
The relationship between childhood bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is uncertain.[3]
