"Bipolar disorder--once known as manic depression, always known as a ferocious mental illness--seems to be showing up in children at an increasing rate, and that has taken a lot of mental-health professionals by surprise." (TIME) This article explains that bipolar disorder was once considered a disease that affected only adults, but that "as doctors look deeper into the condition and begin to understand its underlying causes, they are coming to the unsettling conclusion that large numbers of teens and children are suffering from it as well.".
