Bipolar disorder is controversial in children and adolescents. This workshop discusses key issues, including: how bipolar appears differently in children versus adults, how often bipolar occurs in youths in different settings, what issues make accurate diagnosis especially challenging, how to use specialized self-report and parent-report measures to diagnose it more accurately, and how to use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to treat pediatric bipolar disorder. New and updated content includes new measures and treatment implications of mania versus depression..
