Attention Deficity Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Bipolar Disorder are two distinct conditions, yet they frequently overlap in adults. Both may involve impulsivity, mood shifts, and difficulty focusing—making diagnosis complex and treatment more challenging without a specialized approach.
At Gimel Health, we understand the frustration of being misunderstood or misdiagnosed. Whether you’re navigating emotional highs and lows or chronic inattention and agitation, we provide accurate evaluations and tailored treatment plans that work for real life—not just the textbook.
Many adults live for years with untreated or misdiagnosed symptoms. That’s why we begin your care with a comprehensive psychiatric and depression evaluation. By closely examining your emotional patterns, attention difficulties, and medical history, we can accurately distinguish between conditions—or confirm when both are present.
This step is critical because ADHD and Bipolar Disorder share surface-level symptoms but require vastly different treatments. Without proper evaluation, inappropriate medication can lead to worsened mood swings or treatment resistance.
Treating co-occurring ADHD and Bipolar Disorder isn’t about choosing one to treat first—it’s about understanding how they interact and managing both safely. At Gimel Health, we offer integrated bipolar support services alongside targeted ADHD care.
For adult ADHD treatment, we may recommend ADHD medications for adults, including stimulants or non-stimulants based on your mood stability. Bipolar symptoms are treated with bipolar medications, such as mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, or bipolar depression medication.
We monitor carefully for side effects or interactions—especially in cases of resistant depression—and adjust treatment as needed to support long-term stability and focus.
Adults with ADHD and bipolar often experience additional conditions like anxiety or prolonged depressive episodes. In these cases, medication for anxiety and depression can be safely integrated with mood stabilizers, provided treatment is customized and carefully monitored.
If you’re experiencing manic symptoms—such as racing thoughts, insomnia, or impulsive behavior—our team may initiate treatment for mania immediately with medication and support to stabilize your mood and prevent escalation. From there, we help build a recovery plan that focuses on managing triggers, building routines, and improving daily functioning.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. At Gimel Health, our treatment approach goes beyond medication. We offer therapy, behavioral coaching, and lifestyle recommendations tailored to adults living with ADHD and Bipolar Disorder.

ADHD is primarily a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting attention and focus, while bipolar disorder is a mood disorder marked by extreme highs (mania) and lows (depression). However, symptoms like impulsivity and mood changes can overlap—making proper evaluation essential.
Yes. ADHD medications for adults, especially stimulants, can sometimes trigger manic episodes if bipolar disorder is not stabilized first. That’s why we always treat bipolar symptoms alongside ADHD at Gimel Health.
Treatment is individualized. We may prescribe bipolar medication (mood stabilizers or antipsychotics), alongside non-stimulant ADHD meds when needed. We also consider medication for anxiety and depression and explore new depression medication options for those with resistant depression.
Treatment for mania includes rapid mood stabilization through medication and close monitoring. We then help you build sustainable habits to manage symptoms long-term and reduce future episodes.
Absolutely. With the right diagnosis, ongoing support, and a tailored treatment plan, many adults with ADHD and Bipolar Disorder live full, successful, and emotionally stable lives.
