Question: Lately a connection seems to have been found between ADHD and Bi-Polar disorder, what are your thoughts on co-morbidity and misdiagnosis?

damn, this scares the crap outta me, I was diagnosed with ADHD, my father was diagnosed with Bi-polar, he actually committed suicide around 5 years ago. I actually have hated him most my life because of all the emotional abuse he's put me through, he would often tell my sis and I "don't even f***ing try in life cuz you'll never get any where." he resented his own failures and perceived it as the world's fault. he would humiliate us constantly, like when a kid picked at us in elementary school, who's mother worked at BK... his idea of good parenting involved taking us with him down to her place of work, to "speak" with her, which really meant him going to front counter, and screaming profanities like a lunatic, while several people watched in utter horror, as the anxious manager frantically tryed to deal with him. hes even walked into our church (after my mom divorced him) with his head shaved and a symholic noose dangling from his neck, walking up to the front of the congregation and start yelling, "I am going to kill myself, and it's all you people's fault, cuz you and God don't give a s*** about me" and more cursing and so on..... I swore I'd never end up like him, luckily, I've read manic depression usually manifests itself in ur early 20ies, and I'm 28 now and haven't see any major signs yet. hopefully it stays that way .
the sad thing is though, his IQ was immensely high, something like 180-190, like him, my IQ is genius level too. I thought it relevant to mention this, due to the reality that even smart people, can often have one, or a comorbity of several mental health issues, that might impede their success/potential. Anyone should see a doctor if their worried something may be wrong because had they found my ADHD as a child, I could have done a lot better in school.
He might have been misdiagnosed.
@@deushex2356 Btw, was he ever on any medications? blood thinners, or even asprin, etc?
Does this mean that childhood bipolar disorder causes ADHD? Does the ADHD often develop after the bipolar disorder in these cases?
This scared the shit out of me. Great lectures until then. Wish i didnt see it.
I'm in the process of getting diagnosed with what I'm sure is ADHD. after one vistit my doctor wants to start with treating me for bipolar probably because my mother is bipolar. Im pretty sure i'm not bipolor I have had inateniveness since early childhood and its caused alot of problems with my life, but I have always been a reasonably happy person. no violence or anger. I consider myself a pacifist I hate fighting and whatnot. I wonder is there a link with my mom being bipolar and me just being ADHD without the bipolar? Opinions are welcome to me.
+wheelwatcher I think that's possible, yeah. Because what he says is that bipolar disorder in the family increases the risk of a child having adhd by 8 times. Doesn't mean that's THE reason in any individual case such as yours, but yes it's very relevant.
@@87advil "Because what he says is that bipolar disorder in the family increases the risk of a child having adhd by 8 times."
I'm pretty sure the meaning is - If there's bipolar in the family, then any child birthed to that family has a 8x increased risk of having/being/getting Bipolar, not ADHD. If the bipolar starts in childhood, then there's a very high chance of having ADHD as well though, decreasing the longer it takes for bipolar to show itself.
Or in other words, no link between ADHD->Bipolar, but definitive link from Bipolar->ADHD.
I think one of the best ways to work with ADHD is to go to Hawaii, or the Bahamas, or Indonesia, Tuvalu, Maybe Porto Rico. All these places seem to be designed for ADHD type mind sets. Why? because no one trying to function like a machine. There is no end game of getting the most of something over a certain time. With a little adjustment on discipline is all that is needed. The level of quality in the life is dramatically increased. Because the human body and mind was not design to fit into a rat race. While many will adapt to it with no issues. Others have a natural resistance to such calculative based lifestyles.
If you want to avoid ADHD, I would strongly consider never giving vaccines to new born. That should create a decline in such behavior, as well as autoimmune malfunctions.
The problem many scientists face today, is that they understand that much of what we do in science institution is very far from valid evidence based science. So until we are back on track with real science, and not pseudo theoretical science, the sooner we can be out of a delusional disorder state.
@@philindeblancI don't think you watched the videos.
Diagnosing bipolar disorder in a child before they have gone through puberty is extremely questionable. My personal experience has been that bipolar can be a misdiagnosis of ADHD, particularly combined type, when the undiagnosed symptoms have persisted for so long that depression has become an inevitable secondary reaction to the underlying, unseen disorder.
