He is on meds for the ADHD. I think I would be hesitant to even declare anything as mania per say. He does have periods were he is more talkative or more into projects. But it'd be so hard to decide if it's really mania or not. Maybe it's just a developmental change or something to do with the ADHD. Meds losing effectiveness, etc. It's all so confusing. The attention and focus issues do stay constant. He's not as hyper as he was when he was younger though. Idk hypomania if anything.

I'd be so hesitant to declare anything without him being about to explain things from his perspective. Which I doubt he'll be able to do until he's much older.

Now I do notice it when he'll suddenly seem more sad or angry. He'll start thinking and talking more about death and just dark subjects in general. Much more profound difference.
