Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Children and adolescents with early-onset bipolar disorder (BD) are at high risk for intentionally hurting themselves. Although there are therapies in existence for these youths with BD, they do not address suicide prevention specifically. Mentalization-based therapy for adolescents (MBT-A) has been shown to be helpful in reducing self-harm in the adolescent and adult population with borderline personality disorder. The investigators will modify the MBT-A treatment procedures for persons with BD who have had a recent period of suicidal ideation or behavior.
