| Abstrakt: | The author presents short case descriptions of three children who suffered from juvenile manic‐depressive illness which had its onset during early childhood. In this period of childhood the illness manifests itself as an erratic, rapidly shifting mood behavior with a basic intactness of intellect. The literature describing genetic and biochemical research is discussed, and the place of lithium treatment together with psychotherapy is stressed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
