We compared Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)-AAA (Attention Problems, Aggressive Behavior, and Anxious/Depressed) and Parent-Young Mania Rating Scale (P-YMRS) profiles in Brazilian children with ADHD, pediatric-onset bipolar disorder (PBD), and PBD + ADHD. Following analyses of variance or Kruskal-Wallis tests with multiple-comparison Least Significant Difference (LSD) or Dunn's Tests, thresholds were determined by Mann-Whitney Tests and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) plots. Relative to ADHD, PBD and PBD + ADHD groups scored higher on the Anxious/Depressed, Thought Problems, Rule-Breaking, and Aggressive Behavior subscales and Conduct/Delinquency Diagnostic Scale of the CBCL; all three had similar attention problems. The PBD and PBD + ADHD groups scored higher than the ADHD and healthy control (HC) groups on all CBCL problem scales. The AAA-profile ROC had good diagnostic prediction of PBD + ADHD. PBD and PBD-ADHD were associated with (similarly) elevated P-YMRS scores. The CBCL-PBD and P-YMRS can be used to screen for manic behavior and assist in differential diagnosis.

Objective: Pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) frequently co-occur and share dysfunctions in affective and cognitive domains. As the neural substrates underlying their overlapping and dissociable symptomatology have not been well delineated, a meta-analysis of whole-brain voxel-based morphometry studies in PBD and ADHD was conducted.

Method: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase.

Pediatric Bipolar Disorder: A Practical Guide for Clinicians.

Pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) is a controversial clinical entity and it still needs to be satisfactorily defined. Having a polymorphous presentation and associated with numerous symptoms of comorbid psychiatric illnesses often diagnosed during childhood and adolescence, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, its symptoms do not completely parallel those of bipolar disorder in adults. The clinician must be able to reach a diagnosis of PBD in the presence of fluctuating and atypical symptoms, especially in children, who tend to experience mixed episodes and very rapid cycles.

Background: A growing body of evidence suggests that pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) frequently co-occurs with comorbid psychiatric disorders that may impact functioning.

Objective: To review existing literature on the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity and general functioning in patients with a primary diagnosis of PBD.

Methods: We performed a systematic literature search on the PubMed, Embase and PsycInfo databases on November 16th, 2022.

Background: Social cognition is impaired in patients with severe mental disorders. We aimed to investigate impairments in social cognition in youth with pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) through a systematic review of the literature and the meta-analysis.

Method: Following the PRISMA guidelines, we searched in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane CENTRAL for studies reporting on the theory of mind (ToM) and emotion recognition (ER) abilities of patients with PBD compared to healthy controls (HC).

The clinical and diagnostic debate circulating pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) has been highlighted as one of the most controversial themes in child psychiatry. With atypical symptomatic expression, constituting its predominant diagnostic discrepancy, PBD is manifested through prolonged manic episodes and affective storms, lacking the symptomatic cycling and episodic nature presented in adult BD. Apart from its unique clinical presentation, the substantial symptomatic overlap with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) indicate an important diagnostic challenge in PBD.
