Study Design Characteristics:
- Allocation: RANDOMIZED
- Intervention Model: PARALLEL
- Observational Model: None
- Primary Purpose: TREATMENT
- Time Perspective: None
- Masking: QUADRUPLE
- Phase: PHASE2/PHASE3
- Number of Arms: 2.0

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:~1. Participants aged 7 years to 17 years, 11 months old at time of first dose~2. Participants must meet DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, as assessed by a semi-structured assessment (KSADS-PL) and a separate clinical interview with a child/adolescent psychiatrist for manic or mixed episodes in bipolar I disorder~3. Score of \> 20 on the YMRS at screening and baseline~4. The participant and legal guardian must understand the nature of the study and be able to comply with protocol requirements. The legal guardian must give written informed consent and the youth, written assent~5. Participants with comorbid conditions \[attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder\], except those listed in Exclusion Criterion 2, may participate~6. If female: is premenarchal, or is incapable of pregnancy because of a hysterectomy, tubal ligation, or spousal/partner sterility. If sexually active and capable of pregnancy, has been using an acceptable method of contraception (hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device, spermicide and barrier) for at least one month prior to study entry and agrees to continue to use one of these for the duration of the study. If sexually abstinent and capable of pregnancy, agrees to continued abstinence or to use of an acceptable method of birth control should sexual activity commence~7. Has a negative quantitative serum ß-human chorionic gonadotrophin hormone pregnancy test at screening and a negative qualitative urine pregnancy test at baseline, if female~8. Participants with a history of substance abuse may participate if they agree to continue to abstain from drugs during the trial and have a negative drug screen at screening or prior to baseline. Those with an initial positive drug screen during screening may have another screen done 1-3 weeks later while in screening, and a negative result will allow the participant to participate~9. The participant is willing and clinically able to wash out of exclusion medications during the screening period. Prior to the administration of lithium, participants will have not used any of the following medications: antipsychotics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, antidepressants within the preceding 2 weeks; stimulants within the preceding week; or fluoxetine or depot antipsychotics in the past month (no stable participants will be asked to discontinue medications)~10. ECG and bloodwork including CBC, electrolytes, etc. (as per Safety assessment procedures listed in Table 6) showing no clinically significant abnormalities~Exclusion Criteria:~1. Participant who is clinically stable on current medication regimen for bipolar disorder~2. A current or lifetime diagnosis of Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder, a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (ASQ score \> 15), Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder~3. Current DSM-IV diagnosis of Substance Dependence~4. Positive drug screen at screening and on retest 1-3 weeks later~5. Participants with symptoms of mania that may be attributable to a general medical condition, or secondary to use of medications (e.g., corticosteroids)~6. Evidence of any serious, unstable neurological illness for which treatment under the auspices of this study would be contraindicated~7. Any serious, unstable medical illness or clinically significant abnormal laboratory assessments that would adversely impact the scientific interpretability or unduly increase the risks of the protocol~8. Current general medical condition including neurological disease, diabetes mellitus, thyroid dysfunction, or renal dysfunction that might be affected adversely by lithium, could influence the efficacy or safety of lithium, or would complicate interpretation of study results~9. Evidence of current serious homicidal/suicidal ideation such that in the treating physician's opinion it would not be appropriately safe for the participant to participate in this study~10. Evidence of current active hallucinations and delusions such that in the treating physician's opinion it would not be appropriately safe for the participant to participate in this study~11. Concomitant prescription of over-the-counter medication or nutritional supplements (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen, St John's wort) that would interact with lithium or affect the participant's physical or mental status~12. Concomitant psychotherapy treatments provided outside the study initiated within 4 weeks prior to screening~13. Previous adequate trial with Li+ (at least 4 weeks with Li+ serum levels between 0.8-1.2 mEq/L)~14. History of allergy to lithium or lithium intolerance~15. Psychiatric hospitalization within 1 month of screening for psychosis or serious homicidal/serious suicidal ideation~16. Clinician's judgment that participant is not likely to be able to complete the study as an outpatient due to psychiatric reasons~17. Females who are currently pregnant or lactating~18. Sexually active females who, in the investigators' opinion, are not using an adequate form of birth control.~19. Participants who are unable to swallow the study medication~20. Participants for whom a baseline YMRS score of \< 20 is anticipated~21. Participants with an IQ less than 70 (determined using the Wechsler Abbreviated Scales of Intelligence {WASI} Vocabulary and Matrix Reasoning Subscales)

Study Arms:
- Lithium Carbonate (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Participants weighing ≥ 30 kg who are randomized to receive active lithium will begin treatment at 300 mg TID (three times a day) at visit 1 (total dose 900 mg). Participants weighing \< 30 kg who are randomized to receive active lithium will begin treatment at 300 mg BID (two times a day) the day after visit 1 (total dose 600 mg). Based on the participant's response and tolerability, the dose will be increased by 300mg three days after the baseline visit and at scheduled in-office visits to the maximum tolerated dose.
- placebo (Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR): Participants who are randomized to receive placebo during the Efficacy Phase will receive matching placebo capsules. Dosing will be titrated as described for active lithium.

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
