Anxiety is the feeling of worry, tension and apprehension, which can be a symptom of bipolar disorder depression. This was recognized by Dr. Emil Kraepelin, back in 1921. He described "anxious mania", as an "excited depression", which includes "great restlessness". In his article he specifically named anxiety as one of the components of bipolar illness. While "anxiety" may not generally be regarded as a bipolar symptom it is now recognized as one of the symptoms of this mental disorder.

However, recent evidence indicates that bipolar disorder may be as common in young people, ages 14 to 18, as among adults. Adolescents, teenagers and even children as young as five are being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Children and bipolar disorder symptoms are a different breed than their adult counterparts.
