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]

The relationship between childhood bipolar disorder and '''attention deficit hyperactivity disorder''' is uncertain.
