Bipolar Disorder is often misdiagnosed as ADHD in children as was the case with me. Dr.s juggled me from on ADHD med to another and never found on that worked for me but as an adult I started seeing a therapist and got diagnosed as Bipolar. FYI, among the many symptoms I have, one of the things that made her realize I was BP was the ADHD meds make me violent.
