Final answer:

Adolescents may experience intense symptoms of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder instead of bipolar disorder when diagnosed at a younger age.


Explanation:

Adolescents are more likely to experience bipolar spectrum disorders than adults. When diagnosed at a younger age, individuals tend to suffer more intense symptoms than those with adult onset. Therefore, instead of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Claudette at 16 years old may receive a diagnosis of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder due to age-related symptom differences.
