medication for bipolar childrenOn August 4, 2010, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) released its new Parents’ Medication Guide for Bipolar Disorder in Children & Adolescents.

“Medication decisions for children with bipolar disorder are complex and difficult for many parents. AACAP’s Parents’ Medication Guide for Bipolar Disorder in Children & Adolescents compiles the very best information and helps parents decipher the daunting decision-making process. I consider it required reading for any parent of a child with bipolar disorder.”
— Susan Resko, Executive Director Child & Adolescent Bipolar Foundation

This is another resource that parents of children and adolescents who have been diagnosed as having bipolar disorder may want to investigate.
