Several disorders share symptoms with ADHD, and it's sometimes difficult to figure out what's what. *Both ADHD and depression cause poor concentration and attention. * Bipolar disorder can trigger hyperactivity and mood swings, as can ADHD. * In addition, both depression and bipolar disorder often coexist with ADHD. Adults with ADHD are more likely to have bipolar disorder, as well as borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder and substance abuse problems. Children with ADHD may also have an ELEVATED risk of bipolar disorder, Tourette's syndrome or learning disorders. *About half of adults and a quarter of children with ADHD develop anxiety. *A third of children with ADHD have disruptive behavior disorders. Symptoms include angry outbursts, short temper, lying and stealing, and defiance of authority figures. Many people with these complex conditions struggle without proper diagnosis and treatment for years. That's why it is so important to see a QUALIFIED mental health professional for diagnosis of behavioral and emotional problems.
