Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development

Bipolar disorders (BD) in youth are associated with a high risk of self-harm behaviors. Childhood trauma (CT) is a relevant environmental stressor that is related to both BD diagnosis and self-harm in adulthood. It is not yet established whether CT may impact self-harm risk in youth. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the distribution patterns of CT in youth BD with and without self-harm.
