This is a single center, open prospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of quetiapine monotherapy in the maintenance treatment of adolescent patients with a bipolar spectrum disorder (bipolar I and bipolar II disorders, cyclothymia, and bipolar disorder not otherwise specified [bipolar NOS]) for a minimum of 48 weeks. Patients will be screened (enrolment phase) either when already stabilized or during an acute episode of mania/hypomania or depression.

Should a new drug be started, investigators will consult the pharmacy as this list is not exhaustive.
- •Use of any of the following cytochrome P450 inducers in the 14 days preceding enrolment including but not limited to: phenytoin, carbamazepine, barbiturates, rifampin, St. John's Wort, and glucocorticoids.
- •Current use of fluvoxamine, nefazodone, or grapefruit juice.
- •Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration outside of the normal range.
- •Unstable or inadequately treated medical illness (e.g., diabetes, angina pectoris, hypertension) as judged by the investigator.
- •History of hepatic disease, or elevated hepatic enzymes at entry testing.
- •Medical conditions that would affect absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of study treatment.
- •Use of an experimental drug within 30 days of enrolment.
- •Previous trials of maintenance therapy.
