Criteria for mania in children have been established on the basis of criteria for mania in adults. Mania in children is an episodic disorder characterized by marked irritability and agitation, a considerable increase in activity level, push of speech, sleep disturbances, distractability, and noticeable mood instability that persists for longer than one month. Euphoria is frequently present in children with mania and is manifested as an adamant denial of any illness or problem. Previous reports have not stressed the characteristic appearance of depressive symptoms, such as hopelessness and helplessness, crying spells, death wishes, and beliefs of persecution, all of which can occur during the manic episode in children.
儿童躁狂症的诊断标准是在成人躁狂症标准的基础上制定的。儿童躁狂症是一种发作性疾病,其特征为明显的易激惹和躁动、活动水平显著增加、言语逼迫、睡眠障碍、注意力分散,以及持续超过一个月的明显情绪不稳定。欣快感在患有躁狂症的儿童中很常见,表现为坚决否认任何疾病或问题。以往的报告并未强调抑郁症状的典型表现,如绝望、无助、哭泣发作、死亡愿望和迫害妄想,所有这些症状都可能在儿童躁狂发作期间出现。
