Without large scale epidemiological studies all I can provide is a synthesis of a number of discussions with expert colleagues and my own experience here. Given a strong family history for bipolar disorder, many of the expert clinicians I know keep the possibility of bipolar disorder in the child quite high in the differential and may well try mood stabilizers relatively early in the course of pharmacological treatment.
