Extractions: The Bipolar Disorder-AD/HD Controversy Carol E. Watkins, M.D. There is a great deal of controversy about the diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder in Childhood. Sometimes it can be difficult to differentiate AD/HD, irritable depression and Bipolar Disorder in children. Books such as The Bipolar Child have received popular attention and raised public consciousness about difficult to treat children with explosiveness and rapid mood swings. While the book gives excellent descriptions of individual children, it is not a research-based document. We have seen an increase in the use of antipsychotics (such as risperidone and haloperidol )and mood stabilizers (such as valproate and lithium) in younger children.

Extractions: Former U.S. Surgeon General An estimated 2.3 million Americans have bipolar disorder, also called manic-depressive illness. A person with bipolar disorder can go from feeling very, very high (called mania ) to feeling very, very low (depression). With proper treatment, people can control these mood swings and lead fulfilling lives. While the rate of bipolar disorder is the same among African Americans as it is among other Americans, African Americans are less likely to receive a diagnosis and, therefore, treatment for this illness. Most African Americans with bipolar disorder are going undiagnosed and untreated. Several factors have contributed to African Americans not receiving help for bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses. Some of the reasons are: A mistrust of health professionals, based in part on historically higher-than-average institutionalization of African Americans with mental illness; and on previous mistreatments, like such tragic events as the Tuskegee syphilis study.

Bipolar Disorder causes ups and downs that are different from the normal ups and downs that most people go through, the effects of Bipolar Disorder are severe. The effects of Bipolar Disorder can result in damaged relationships, poor school or job performance, even suicide. There is good news though, Bipolar Disorder can be treated effectively with medication and therapy, and people with this illness can lead full and productive lives. Bipolar Affective Disorder affects about 2.2 million American adults 18 years of age or older during any given year. It typically shows up in late adolescence and early adulthood. Bipolar Affective Disorder can also show up in early childhood or later in life. Like diabetes or heart disease, bipolar disorder is a long-term illness that must be carefully managed throughout a person's life. Episodes of mania and depression typically recur throughout a person's lifespan. Between the episodes, most people with Bipolar Disorder are free of symptoms. However, about one-third of the people have some residual symptoms, and about one-percent experience chronic unremitting symptoms despite treatment. People with bipolar disorder can lead healthy and productive lives when the illness is effectively treated. Without treatment, however, the natural course of bipolar disorder tends to worsen. Over time a person may suffer more frequent (more rapid-cycling) and more severe manic and depressive episodes than those experienced when the illness first appeared. But in most cases, proper treatment can help reduce the frequency and severity of episodes and can help people with bipolar disorder maintain good quality of life.
