Is Bipolar Disorder the Most Common Diagnostic Entity in Hospitalized Adolescents and Children?
Isaac, George
Adolescence, v30 n118 p273-89 Sum 1995
An evaluation of all children and adolescents (n=57) admitted to an acute psychiatric unit over a 3-month period was undertaken to determine the presence of bipolar disorder. Findings indicated that bipolar disorder was the most common diagnosis; thus, this disorder has to be ruled out in all youth admitted to acute care psychiatric units. (JPS)
