A member asked:

What is the outlook for a child with bipolar who is on medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good on meds: Bipolar disease is an inherited disorder that can present at any age. When symptoms occur in children, they can often be controlled with medication. It is likely that the child will require some form of medication during his/her lifetime; however, on medication, the child can be symptom free.
