I saw my psych and asked him that. I ased him since I had been diagnosed with bipolar if that meant I didn't have ADHD. He told me that it may but that I may have both. He said that if I have both the bipolar needs to be treated first and then the ADHD but that he still wasn't going to medicate me for the AdHD because of the bad reaction I had to the meds. When I spoke to my counselor about the new diagnosis she denied that it could even be a possibility and told me that I have never been manic. When I told her that I had she essentially gave me the same questionnaire that my psych did. I am just feeling drained by all of this and was hoping I could get some support.

Thanks,

Alice
