A member asked:

What to do if i have bipolar but do i qualify for it or is it for ppl with add disorders?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ADD vs Bipolar: ADHD and bipolar disorder have many overlapping symptoms. First, go to a psychologist or psychiatrist to assess for bipolar, then for ADHD. When you say "qualify" do you mean filing for disability? First you need a proper dx and then the treatment will come from that. For a simple ADHD screen, see: http://www.psychologyproductsandservices.com/adhd.html
