I will remember that!

I have that combination, and now, with meds for both, have got a much better life.
The experts still quarrel about the coexsistence, my experience is that it does.

I do remember reading a section in "Driven to Distraction" about the coexistence of ADHD with, say, depression, bipolar disorder, dissociative and borderline personality disorder. Very enlightening! =)
I feel that I do struggle with my moods in a neurobiological sense. But I'm also reluctant to pursue psychiatric treatment. I intern for a psychiatrist at the moment. Through what I've seen I'm wary of the information that one's insurance company has on one's mental health.
Fortunately my counselor is helping me research other means of pursuing psychiatric treatment. =)
