My husband has a dual diagnosis of ADD and Bipolar disorder. The bipolar, for the most part is under control (some depression, but manageable) but the ADD, even with medication and regular visits with a social worker and a psych doc through the VA seems to reaching an unmanageable level. At least on my end.

The three things that I've noticed as trouble areas are 1. hyper focusing on video games 2. lack of focus on house work and 3. employment

The biggest issue is the computer. He will literally spend entire days in front of the computer either playing games or chatting with friends. I honestly do not mind him spending some time on the computer but lately it's ridiculous. If he's not on the computer, he's reading stuff on his iPhone. Then he kind of puts me on a spot when I call him out on it....

This in turn makes him unable to focus on doing housework. I work full time and I work very long hours (40 hours in the space of 3 days). As my husband does not work currently (he was laid off) he promised to keep up with the housework...which he does not do. He has also made almost no effort to find a job as he's convinced he'll be unable to focus...BUT he also refuses to find out if his ADD is severe enough to be eligible for disability.

I know that no one will be able to fix the problem, but hopefully someone on here can relate to what I'm going through.
