At the age of five the Bipolar disorder is diagnosable. But it is possible to diagonise at an early stage also by using some advanced equipments. A study conducted WHEN by Demitri Papolos, MD, and Janice Papolos indicates that more than 80% of children diagnosed with bipolar disorder come from families with a history of mood disorders and/or Alcoholism on both sides of the family. And yet, even when a strong family history of this is present, professionals rarely consider early-onset bipolar disorder. Many children who actually have bipolar disorder have been diagnosed with ADHD.
