Healio (11/2, Gramigna) reports, “Male and female youth with bipolar disorder had similar outcomes, despite substantial literature on sex differences among adults with bipolar disorder,” investigators concluded in a study that sought “to pinpoint potential sex differences in psychiatric comorbidity and mood symptomatology among 199 female and 171 male youth with bipolar 1 disorder, bipolar 2 disorder or operationalized bipolar disorder not otherwise specified according to DSM-4 criteria.” The findings were published online in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.
