However, today there are more treatment options available than ever before for children and adolescents with this disorder.
The goal of this course is to provide an overview of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents, examine the symptoms, risk factors, and traditional treatment methods available for this specific population, and explore integrative approaches to assessing, treating, and managing this disorder.
