Kenny Handelman, psychiatrist and Founder at The Centre of Integrative Mental Health, discusses how ADHD and Bipolar co-exist (comorbidity). Bipolar disorder has similar symptoms to ADHD, and we discuss the differences and similarities. · ADHD impairments are traditionally compared to the general public, not compared to our abilities. · Manic episodes are euphoric or irritable, and Depressive episodes are low depression-type symptoms. · Bipolar episodes can last weeks or months and cycle between the different moods. Not daily shifts. · The mood changes are observable by others - not only the person experiencing bipolar. · Women can be misdiagnosed as bipolar when it could be impulsive ADHD. Kenny is the author of Attention Difference Disorder: How to Turn Your ADHD Child or Teen's Differences into Strengths in 7 Simple Steps. This discussion is part of The Impulsive Thinkers theme of Mental Health for ADHD entrepreneurs for the October 2023 ADHD Awareness Month.

There's an Adderall shortage across the U.S., and it's causing huge problems for people with ADHD. But on the flip side, we hear people saying that we shouldn't be giving this drug out anyway. So we wanted to know: What is Adderall, exactly? What is it doing in people's brains? And is there any truth to this idea that Adderall is like meth — could it be dangerous? We talk to psychiatrist Prof. Rachel Fargason, neuroscientist Prof. Habibeh Khoshbouei, and actor Kai Liu. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, in the US you can call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP or visit their website.
