  • Summary

    Mood disorders are a leading cause of illness and disability in children and adolescents. Effective treatment is available, and early identification and intervention improves prognosis. This chapter provides a comprehensive summary of the epidemiology, aetiology and clinical features of depression and bipolar disorder in young people. We provide evidence-based recommendations for the prevention and treatment of mood disorders in children and adolescents, including psychological and pharmacological interventions, and novel and emerging treatment options. We present research on predictors of treatment outcome and prognosis of mood disorders in young people, and highlight areas for further research. This chapter will help clinicians identify and treat young people with mood disorders in a range of clinical settings.
