Abstract
Pediatric bipolar disorder (BD) is diagnosed with increasing frequency,1 perhaps because some suggest that it presents as either severe nonepisodic irritability or episodic mania.2 This suggestion raises questions about clinical and pathophysiologic differences between these 2 presentations. To evaluate this, the phenotype of severe, nonepisodic irritability was operationalized as severe mood dysregulation (SMD).2 Family history3 and longitudinal data4,5 suggest that BD and SMD are dissociable phenotypes, whereas behavioral data find similarities in facial information processing.6-9 Imaging studies can elucidate similarities and differences in neural mediators of such information-processing findings.10,11 In this study, we compared blood oxygenation level–dependent (BOLD) activation patterns during the presentation of parametrically morphed emotional faces in patients with BD or SMD and healthy volunteers (HVs).Keywords
