Bipolar Symptoms

Quite contrary to ADHD symptoms, children with ADHD bipolar disorder can be aggressive, anti-social, confrontational, and ill tempered. Rather than waking up bright and ready in the morning, they take extraordinary amounts of time to rise, and then spend most of the day trying to wake up. They may not be good in school, and probably don’t get along well with others; if they walk into a wall, they mean to do it. Moods can change intermittently, and “intermittent rage disorder,” yet another personality disorder, is sometimes mistakenly diagnosed. So, while parenting a child with ADHD Bipolar disorder, it is necessary to medicate the mood disorder first, then the ADHD. Mood disorders can be controlled, as can ADHD, although behavior modification therapy and strong counseling are recommended for the continued health of the patient.
