Dr. O'Leary delves into the complex and often controversial topic of diagnosing Pediatric Bipolar Disorder and its differentiation from other conditions, particularly Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD). Dr. O'Leary explores the DSM-5-TR diagnostic framework, the history of Pediatric Bipolar diagnosis, the debate surrounding irritability as a diagnostic criterion, and the challenges of distinguishing it from ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ODD and trauma-related disorders. Using case vignettes and drawing on both personal knowledge and AI-assisted research, the episode aims to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of this challenging area of child psychiatry.
