Either we have different definitions of psychotic break or you're a pretty high outlier. I don't know anyone from my bipolar support group who had a psychotic break before puberty. Most of them haven't had one.

I had bipolar symptoms at age 5 and severe depression at 9, but didn't have a break until I was 26.

I grew up in a dynamic environment with plenty therapy and hospitalizations. There is definitely something on my mother's side. Suffice to say that I have a lifetime of experience. I think about the human side and the philosophical side. I'm only speaking from life experience and an effort to frame and understand the issues.
