CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS

2. Have you ever noticed your child go
through extreme mood and behavior
changes? Do you hear people saying your
child is much more excited and active
compared to others? Maybe your child
becomes either too excited or moody.
When these mood swings get too intense
that they disrupt how your child acts at
school or at home, it is advisable to
consider calling a psychiatrist. Some
children or teens having these issues may
have a serious mental illness called bipolar

3. Formerly known as manic-depressive
illness, bipolar disorder is a brain disorder
that causes strange and dramatic mood
swings, a shift in energy, sleep habits,
activity levels and in general, the ability to
perform daily tasks. The mood swings can
be slow or abrupt, mild or extreme, and
they can last from hours to days,
sometimes weeks.

incomparable with their usual mood
