I'd like see a forum that addresses comorbidity issues. For example, I have Bipolar 1 and recently found out that I have ADHD. My pdoc won't prescribe any stimulants because it could trigger a manic episode. He said that I'm going to have to basically live with it and that it's untreatable.
Comments? Suggestions? |

There are a lot of people on this forum with comorbidity. I'm one.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Since comorbidity can mean any two or more disorders, I'm not sure what the benefit of having a specific forum for that would be...? We already have lots of forums and we're disinclined to create more when the ones we have aren't being utilized.... I would just post in your primary disorder forum or, if you feel it's warranted, the general mental health forum. __________________ Don't throw away your shot. |

Some time ago we had a Mental illness thread. It’s time, I feel to address this problem again. Although we experienced How to be Sick, not all members could go. Also we might in this thread address other illnesses.

Hey, @sarahsweets. Thanks for the info and particularly your advice about showing this to my pdoc. My BP is basically under control (the manic side at least) so perhaps we can do some experimenting with dealing with the ADHD.
