Yes bipolar individuals ususally have problems with the frontal cortex, which can exasperate/cause both symptoms of bipolar and ADD.
Not all ADD kids have bipolar as ritalin can make some kids stable as a rock.
For bipolar/ADD kids I would say fish oil is a must as an adjunctive. It is really the only mood stabalizer that has an significant effect on cognition without activating those mind racing PKC enzymes.
