WHAT’S THE | ADHD Information

There are many ADHD children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder.  It doesn't mean they are going to become bi-polar later.  ODD are much more difficult to raise, because they challenge the hell out of everything.  They are like a rebel without a cause.  They love to argue about nothing, and everything.

They can co-exist, but most often ADHD/ODD are codeworks for early onset bipolar in kids, especially when mood disorders, substance abuse and/or suicide attempts are on either side of the family tree. Bipolar has a 90% ODD rate, higher than ADHD.
