Counseling Youth Who Have Bipolar Disorder

Practice Briefs

Contributors: Victoria E. KressStephane SedallMatthew J. Paylo

The prevalence of bipolar disorder among youth ranges from approximately 0.5-3% depending upon the assessment strategy and the type of bipolar disorder assessed (APA, 2013; NIMH, n.d; NIMH, 2009; Singh, 2008). The bipolar disorders include bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymia. Those who do not meet the criteria for these more traditional bipolar disorder diagnoses may be diagnosed as having other specified and unspecified related disorders (NIMH, 2015).
