A Risk Calculator for Bipolar Spectrum Disorder in Youth at Familial Risk | Adolescent Medicine | JAMA Psychiatry | The JAMA Network


Description

A positive family history for bipolar disorder (BD) is presently the strongest predictor for BD. Over the last 2 decades, several longitudinal studies among children of patients with BD (bipolar offspring) identified converging evidence for early BD manifestations and associated parental and environmental risk factors.1 Risk for BD is elevated in bipolar offspring, but affected families want to know an individual risk estimate. Moreover, clinicians and policy makers want to know how to identify those youth at ultra high risk because this information may affect treatment and monitoring strategies.
