> Mitch, I can probably do a search for good sites that explain the differences/similarities of bipolar II & ADHD, but if you know any that are good, could you post them? It would save me wading through lots of different sites trying to find the good ones. I'm curious to learn more.
> Thanks :)


Hi IsoM,

I don't have a lot to offer as far as *sites* go with information. I've just been diagnosed with both and I fulfill the diagnostic requirements of both. I haven't gotten a lot of really *useful* information that gets much better than what I read here about individual experiences. There are all sorts of studies out there you can find abstracts on that are occasionally insightful. But, unfortunately, they are generalizations put out based on usually small groups of people. If you are unfortunate enough to not "fit nicely" into a simple diagnostic category, that stuff is really not going to be of much help (abstracts,etc.). Basically, what I know and believe about my problems is based on subjective personal experience with different medications (trial and error if you will), and what other *individuals* share about their experiences. You might start by simply reading the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for bipolar II and ADHD and see what you think. There is one site I happen to have bookmarked about adults with ADHD
http://www.addult.org/
and it is somewhat interesting.

hope this is of some help,

Mitch
