The cyclic dilemma: organic, functional, and environmental interaction in a young teenager.
This Grand Rounds considers an early-adolescent female who demonstrated a mixed clinical picture including rapid cycling of psychotic behavior. The case presents issues commonly faced in hospital practice and provides an example of the use of standardized instruments in assessment and monitoring treatment, as well as a discussion of issues germane to inpatient child and adolescent psychiatrists and related treatment team members.
