Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hi everyone it's Susan Coffin I'm here for Attitude magazine and you're listening

to Attitudes ADHD experts podcast. One of the most difficult aspects of attention deficit

disorder can be getting the right diagnosis and so many

the symptoms of ADHD overlap with those of other disorders that making sense of

the symptoms can be a challenge. So today we're very pleased to welcome back Dr.

William Dodson who joins us to discuss one condition, bipolar mood disorder that is

very frequently confused with attention deficit disorder. Some of the topics

that Dr. Dotson will address include why mood disorders such as

bipolar disorder are the most common misdiagnosis in adults and kids

with ADHD. How you can tell the difference between ADHD

and bipolar disorder and how do you treat when both those conditions coexist.

Dr. Dodson has been with us before. He's a wonderful

explainer of things that are complex. He is a board certified adult

psychiatrist who has specialized in adult ADHD for over 23 years, a Life Fellow of the American

Psychiatric Association, he's a recipient of numerous awards, and his

upcoming book is entitled, What You Wish Your Doctor New about ADHD. For more information visit his website

The first question that you have to ask is why at an ADHD website are we even talking about bipolar.
