Not sure how old this post is, I'm still learning the ropes here. I have a child who I suspect has ADD or ADHD, had him tested and the docs regocnized he has a more intense personality but said they weren't ready to diagnose just yet. Friends and family say "oh he's just being a boy" or "he is fine". I want to believe that, but now he is in school and teachers are recognizing some issues as well. I don't know though, will revisit with his doc soon. Anyways, I'm reading "Taking Charge of ADHD" Russella Barkley. You mentioned bipolar concerns, this book has a huge list of resources for several disorders in the index. Good Luck.
