“…In fact, depression and mania appear to be the world's first documented mental illnesses [4], tracing back to ancient Greece [5]. For example, Hippocrates considered melancholia (i.e., depression) and mania to be among the earliest diagnosable disorders.…”

“…At this time, French psychiatrist Jean-Pierre Falret conceptualized bipolar disorder as being cyclical in nature, referring to this phenomenon as the folie circulaire (i.e., circular madness). Falret described manic and melancholic episodes that were separated by symptom-free intervals [4, 5]. In 1854, French psychiatrist Jules Baillarger also described the cycling of manic and melancholic symptoms (i.e., folie à double forme ), but without the presence of symptom-free intervals [4, 5].…”

In 1854, French psychiatrist Jules Baillarger also described the cycling of manic and melancholic symptoms (i.e., folie à double forme ), but without the presence of symptom-free intervals [4, 5]. Although Falret and Baillarger disagreed on the exact nature and cyclical process of bipolar disorder, they both agreed that the diagnosis and prognosis of this disorder was “desperate, terrible, and incurable” [8, p. 405].…”

“…With regard to theorizing about bipolar symptoms in children, psychoanalytic theorists, such as Adolf Meyer, Karl Abraham, and Melanie Klein, were some of the first to make references to manic-depressive symptoms in children (see [5], for a summary). In fact, child psychiatrists began to examine bipolar symptoms in their patients, looking for presentations that resembled those seen in adults.…”

Bipolar Disorder in Children

Although bipolar disorder historically was thought to only occur rarely in children and adolescents, there has been a significant increase in children and adolescents who are receiving this diagnosis more recently (Carlson, 2005). Nonetheless, the applicability of the current bipolar disorder diagnostic criteria for children, particularly preschool children, remains unclear, even though much work has been focused on this area. As a result, more work needs to be done to further the understanding of bipolar symptoms in children. It is hoped that this paper can assist psychologists and other health service providers in gleaning a snapshot of the literature in this area so that they can gain an understanding of the diagnostic criteria and other behaviors that may be relevant and be informed about potential approaches for assessment and treatment with children who meet bipolar disorder criteria. First, the history of bipolar symptoms and current diagnostic criteria will be discussed. Next, assessment strategies that may prove helpful for identifying bipolar disorder will be discussed. Then, treatments that may have relevance to children and their families will be discussed. Finally, conclusions regarding work with children who may have a bipolar disorder diagnosis will be offered.

This article examined some of the reasons for confusion and controversy surrounding the frequency of diagnosis of bipolar disorder, especially in prepubertal children. Four case vignettes are used to articulate questions surrounding manifestations of euphoria and grandiosity, informant variance, diagnostic implications of medication-induced behavioral toxicity, and treatment implications of family history. Although extant literature cited addresses some of the issues, specific research is needed for definitive answers.

The purpose of this chapter is to consider how a developmental psychopathology perspective can advance our understanding of bipolar disorder. In this chapter we start by discussing the phenomenology of the disorder. As this is a field in which scientific controversies abound, this section begins by placing bipolar disorder in a historical context. We consider the origins of current clinical diagnostic approaches and evaluate newly emerging empirical approaches that utilize dimensions of symptoms, behaviors, and neurobiological indexes. We then review prominent etiological theories of the illness, including work on environmental stressors and hazards as well as behavioral and genetic approaches. We highlight some of the most promising theories that account for both environmental and biological mechanisms of bipolar disorder. Additionally, because bipolar disorder can be considered a neurodevelopmental disorder, biological mechanisms are also discussed in the context of brain imaging research. We conclude the chapter with suggestions for translational research by considering how these developmental and neurodevelopmental models can inform intervention science and help identify promising new directions for future research.
