Psychiatrist Claims That Many Bipolar Adults Have ADHD

Psychiatrist Claims That Many Bipolar Adults Have ADHD DENVER/EWORLDWIRE/Sep. 27, 2005 --- Dr. William Niederhut, a Denver psychiatrist and Harvard Medical graduate, claims in a new book that many adults with bipolar disorders have ADHD and are suffering from an inherited disorder that he calls the Childhood-Onset Bipolar Attention-Deficit, or "COBAD," syndrome. "These adults typically experience episodic depression, irritability, and anxiety beginning in their childhood years, along with symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)," said Niederhut. "The ADHD is an integral part of their bipolar disorder, and prevents them from responding fully to conventional treatment with mood stabilizers and antidepressants."
