Abstract
Patients with adolescent-onset mania at a long-term treatment facility presented with more psychotic symptoms and greater chronicity than adult-onset manic patients. However, the long-term (15-year) outcome of the 35 adolescent-onset patients was comparable to or better than that of the 31 adult-onset patients.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
