The diagnosis of psychiatric disorder in adolescence is often difficult. Three cases of adolescent onset bipolar affective psychosis are described, where disorientation and impairment of short-term memory were part of the presenting psychopathology. This led to extensive investigation for an organic cause. It was only after a period of weeks that the final diagnosis of bipolar disorder was firmly made.

Key Words: adolescence • bipolar affective disorder • case reports • diagnostic difficulties • unusual presentations
