19.3 treatment of early age mania (team)

Lithium is one of the oldest treatments for bipolar disorder and was recently studied as part of the Treatment of Early Age Mania (TEAM) study in a head-to-head comparison with divalproex sodium and risperidone. This presentation will examine the outcomes for youth assigned to lithium in the initial 8-week trial. We will also examine youth switched to lithium after failing another treatment or partial responders who received lithium as an add-on (combination) treatment with one of the other 2 agents.
