Just a quick note to give you a link to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (http://www.aacap.org). Today they published a paper about diagnosis and treatment of Bipolar Disorder in children and adolescents. The PDF can be found here (http://www.aacap.org/galleries/default-file/aacap_bipolar_medication_guide.pdf).
Hope it is helpful and please feel free to post any questions or comments here.
