Patients with BD and ADHD had higher rates of current mixed episodes, lower rates of mania, greater impairment overall, and higher levels of depression. Patients with BD and ADHD also had lower remission rates and higher rates of substance use disorders, and they reported greater levels of familial maladjustment than adults with BP alone. - See more at: What Are Common Comorbidities in ADHD? | Psychiatric Times

Anyone else blessed with both?
Yes.
That totally describes me 100%. Yikes!
