What symptoms do ADHD and bipolar disorder share?

ADHD and bipolar disorder share some symptoms, such as:

Inattention: Difficulty paying attention, staying focused on tasks, and completing assignments.

Hyperactivity: Excessive fidgeting, restlessness, and an inability to sit still.

Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, making rash decisions, and interrupting others.

Mood swings: Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings, from mania to depression. ADHD does not typically cause such severe mood swings, but people with ADHD may experience emotional dysregulation, which can include irritability, anger, and tearfulness.

Cognitive problems: Both ADHD and bipolar disorder can affect cognitive skills, such as working memory, executive functioning, and attention.

Sleep problems: People with ADHD and bipolar disorder may have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up in the morning.

Relationship problems: ADHD and bipolar disorder can both interfere with relationships, causing difficulties at work, school, and home.

Risky behaviors: People with ADHD and bipolar disorder may be more likely to engage in risky behaviors, such as substance abuse, unsafe sex, and reckless driving.

However, it is important to note that not everyone with ADHD will experience all of these symptoms, and not everyone with bipolar disorder will experience the same symptoms as someone with ADHD. It is also possible to have both ADHD and bipolar disorder.
