Abstract in brief

  • Adult ADHD often starts in childhood and continues into adulthood, but it can be hard to recognize because its symptoms overlap with other mental health issues like mood, anxiety, and personality disorders, especially bipolar disorder (BD).
  • There is a high rate of co-occurrence between ADHD and BD, with up to 20% of adults experiencing both, which complicates diagnosis and treatment because they share similar symptoms.
  • The review discusses how this overlap impacts treatment options, including concerns about medications like stimulants potentially triggering manic episodes, and explores best practices for managing this complex comorbidity.
