Could it be bipolar disorder?

Could it be Bipolar Disorder ? Correct diagnosis is essential to proper treatment. The condition may be mistaken for a number of other childhood illnesses, such as ADHD. More often, symptoms are dismissed as common "ups and downs" of being a kid. But unlike normal childhood behavior, pediatric bipolar disorder that’s left untreated can severely inhibit academic, social and emotional development, or even lead to suicide. Effective treatment relies on accurate diagnosis. For more information about pediatric bipolar disorder or for caregiver information, please contact The Child & Adolescent Bipolar Foundation.
