Comprehensive bipolar disorder care for children and teens

Mass General Brigham offers specialized care for children and teens with bipolar disorder, delivered by experienced pediatric and mental health specialists. Because bipolar disorder often occurs alongside other conditions, our teams take a whole-child approach to care.

We provide a range of services, including outpatient psychiatry, intensive programs, and school-based support. One example is the Arlington School, affiliated with McLean Hospital, which combines academic and mental health support.
