A member asked:

Bipolar disorder in an 11 year old? symptoms and concerns?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seems awfully young: See a professional. While anything is possible, it seems young to be developing this disorder. If you are concerned that the person is having severe depression with episodes of mania, then seek medical help from a pediatrician or psychiatrist. This should be evaluated by a physician.
