Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bipolar I disorder is less likely to be diagnosed in children compared to the other options. This is because the full criteria for a manic episode, which is required for a diagnosis of Bipolar I disorder, are less commonly observed in children. Children more often present with symptoms of depression, making Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar II disorder (which involves hypomanic episodes that are less severe than manic episodes), and Cyclothymic Disorder (characterized by periods of hypomanic symptoms and periods of depressive symptoms that are less severe than in full-blown Major Depressive Disorder or Bipolar Disorder) more likely diagnoses.
