Major LOL!!! I describe my household "functioning" (read as NON-functioning) as a pinball just bouncing around. So glad to know I'm not the only one!
JP,
What a story!! Major LOL! I'm glad it was successful. You know, I'm sure that your audience learned A LOT more about ADD from your foibles than they would have if everything went smoothly. Excellent teaching!!
I always keep the makings for PB & J sandwiches in the house, myself!!
Well...I'm not a doc...but really, no drugs can be guaranteed to be 100% safe for anyone. I'm sure you know that and I don't mean to scare you. I'm just very hypersensitive to that fact because I am so sensitive to medications and am that person t...
HELP! My 16yr old daughter has been taking Concerta, 54mg, for a year and a half. It suddenly stopped working last week, and it had been a miracle drug for organizing her thoughts and getting homework done. Last April she started taking Prozac for...

An older brother of mine had once been diagnosed as having/being one with a "Bi-Polar" Variant by professionals. Yet my observations of him is he also has ADHD....
Hi again,
I just want to let you all know that I was in a very bad "place" last night. I dropped my daughter at her dad's, almost an hour away. She is 16 and we are very close, but she has chosen to live with a controlling jerk who can be a bully,...
I sleep from about 1:00-7:00. On the weekends my husband lets me sleep in on Saturdays - it is a great thing! Sometimes I nap when my 5 year old naps....
I don't know if you have contact with her therapist, but if your client has ADD and bipolar,...
Thanks for your input! My client is on medication for the bipolar, and I've just begun working with her, so i haven't seen any dramatic mood swings or a cyclical nature to her symptoms. That's why I'm thinking ADD is involved. She does have proble...
12% of those with AD/HD also have a diagnosis of bi-polar.
40% of those with bi-polar also have a diagnosis of AD/HD.

Tere,
Flakes aren't so bad.....we're fun. I try to avoid those who can't appreciate/tolerate our quirks. : )

ADD vs. Bi-polar
HELP! Does anyone have info or experience regarding Bi-polar as a comorbidity to ADD, or knowledge about the difference between the two? I have a coaching client who has been diagnosed with bi-polar, but seems to have MANY symptoms of ADD. I love this site - have a great deal of respect for the members, and feel that I would get great feedback here. ( Naturally I would not try to diagnose her possible ADD, just looking for info so I can better understand and help her.) Thanks.....
