Özet

Objectives: The clinical presentation of Bipolar Disorder (BD) in adults often has an episodic course. However, pediatric onset BD often presents with higher rates of mixed episodes, rapid cycling, and co-occurring Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) than adults with BD. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical characteristics of pediatric onset BD in a Turkish sample and to compare these characteristics with children with a diagnosis of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
