Wednesday Lecture Series: "Pediatric Bipolar Disorder: Treating the Irrational with the Rationale"

Baltimore, MD US
March 27, 2018

If a child’s mood interferes with his or her day-to-day life that causes significant disruption in school, at home with family, friends, and his/her community it is certainly important and key to take notice and seek medical/psychological treatment immediately. When left untreated, mood disorders can have devastating consequences, including school dropout, drug abuse and suicide.

The goal of early identification and treatment is first and foremost. However, there is confusion and uncertainty surrounding diagnosis & diagnostics; which type (s) of mood disorder presented? What exactly are we treating? The variable developmental expression of mania and its symptomatic overlap (comorbidities) with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, and Mood Disorders is daunting at a minimum.

This lecture will review defining Pediatric Mood Disorders, Identification of Pediatric Bipolar Disorder, Treatment and Current Therapies and are they working? Presentation of new and current research and an overview of really cool future directions will also be included and presented.

This lecture is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors and other mental health professionals.
