AB  - Affect  regulation  is  a  developmental  acquisition  that  is  impacted  by  environmental  factors.  For  clinicians  caring  for  children  and  adolescents,  it  is  important  to  differentiate  between  normal  mood  fluctuations  and  emotions  and  pervasive  mood  disorders  that  significantly  impact  the  child’s  global  functioning.  A  careful  clinical  assessment  is  necessary  to  make  the  diagnosis  of  mood  disorders  in  children  and  adolescents,  as  there  are  no  laboratory  or  neuroimaging  tests  that  will  ascertain  the  diagnosis.  The  clinical  diagnosis  of  mood  disorders  is  supported  by  research  data  obtained  in  epidemiological  and  longitudinal  studies,  as  well  as  by  clinical  observations.
