The diagnosis of childhood BD is controversial,[1] although it is recognized that BD typical symptoms are dysfunctional and have negative consequences for minors suffering them.[7] Main discussion is centered on whether what is called BD in children refers to the same disorder than when diagnosing adults,[8] and the related question on whether adults' criteria for diagnosis are useful and accurate when applied to children.[4] More specifically, main discussion over diagnosis in children circles around mania symptomatology and its differences between children and adults.[9]
