When Your Child's Emotions Become a Storm
Picture a child who wakes up one morning convinced they can fly, jumps from furniture with absolute certainty in their superhuman powers, then hours later sits in the corner convinced they're worthless and the world would be better without them. This isn't imagination or drama-it's the reality of childhood bipolar disorder, a condition that until recently, many professionals insisted didn't even exist in children. For decades, bipolar disorder was considered strictly an adult diagnosis, leaving countless families struggling alone with a child's inexplicable mood swings, wondering if they were somehow failing as parents. The recognition that children as young as two can experience this condition has opened doors to understanding, but it's also revealed how much we still need to learn about supporting these families through one of parenting's most challenging journeys. Bipolar disorder isn't new-it's been hiding in plain sight for centuries. Back in the second century AD, a Greek physician named Aretaeus documented patients who seemed "dull or stern; dejected or unreasonably torpid" alternating with "unreasonable fears." Medieval Europeans often saw uncontrollable outbursts as demonic possession, leading to brutal treatments in asylums. It wasn't until 1980 that "bipolar disorder" officially replaced "manic-depressive disorder" in medical literature.
