Dear Colleagues,

Bipolar disorder is a serious and complicated brain disorder. Although bipolar disorder typically develops in late adolescence or young adulthood, we now know that bipolar disorder can occur in children. Today's newsletter provides resources related to treatment of children, adolescents, and adults.
