abstract="Clinic and epidemiologic studies strongly support the notion that pediatric bipolar (BP)-I disorder afflicts a substantial number of children and adolescents, and its presence is associated with high levels of morbidity and disability (1-3). Although longitudinal course is a key validation criteria for any psychiatric disorder, relatively few studies have assessed the persistence of the disorder over time... the main aim of the present study was 2-fold: to conduct a 1-year follow-up study in which the methods replicate our previously reported 4-year follow up of our sample of pediatric BP-I disorder, confirming the high level of persistence documented; and to attend to different definitions of remission at follow up, including persistence of the full diagnosis of BP-I disorder as well as the presence of subsyndromal mania and depression. We hypothesized that the persistence of pediatric BP-I disorder would continue and that subsyndromal states would continue to be highly represented into adolescence.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
