Abstract |
Bipolar disorder (BD) in children and adolescents is a severe, refractory illness linked with poor mental and physical health and functional outcomes that confers significant risk over the course of development.1 To date, pharmacotherapy and psychosocial treatment studies have focused largely on symptom reduction and remission as primary outcomes. However, researchers and clinicians who study and treat youth with bipolar spectrum disorders are familiar with a host of functional impairments that often persist even after symptoms have been stabilized.
