I am no expert, but a person must be 18 before an official diagnosis of a personality disorder may be made. It's not the same for bipolar, especially because there has been increasing numbers of bipolar children being diagnosed.
I think that many times a bipolar diagnosis will be made in the way a child who shows signs of anti-social personality disorder will be diagnosed as having "conduct disorder" in child hood.
