Detailed Description: A leading source of difficulty in treating youth with Bipolar Disorder is its comorbidity with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ADHD Systematic studies of children and adolescents show that rates of ADHD range from 60 to 90 in pediatric study participants with mania These findings could not be accounted for by the overlapping symptoms of distractibility talkativeness and physical hyperactivity suggesting that affected children may suffer from both disorders which was also consistent with findings of familial co-transmission of these two conditions Considering the well-documented morbidity and dysfunction associated with ADHD a comprehensive treatment approach to the management of the bipolar child with comorbid ADHD requires the development of appropriate therapeutic strategies for the treatment ADHD symptoms
