Recent trends in hospitalization due to BD in 10-19-year-olds in Spain indicate salient increases in the early 2000s - especially among (i) patients aged 10-14 (decreasing moderately after 2009 among 10-14-year-olds and plateauing among 15-19-year-olds) and (ii) patients with additional psychiatric comorbidity (i.e., cannabis use disorder). These findings suggest links with recent changes in clinical practices for children and recent trends in substance use among Spanish youth.
