Abstract

ADHD and bipolar disorder (BP) commonly coexist, and both share key symptoms, depending on affective state and emotional dysregulation. The overlap poses diagnostic challenges and may lead to underdiagnoses. Comorbid cases exhibit worsened symptom burden, increased psychiatric morbidity, admissions, and suicide attempts. Treating BP before ADHD is recommended. Stimulant use combined with mood stabilisers may be effective and relatively safe; however, this review finds that well-designed randomised controlled studies in the area is warranted.
