Oh yeah, it's definitely more than just attention issues in class. Fun trivia: we have a high comorbidity rate with bipolar disorder. Did you know that? Our emotional dysregulation tends to be so bad that people with ADHD keep getting diagnosed with bipolar. How is that school based? What does that have to do with homework? Nothing! Yet, everyone acts like ADHD is just something that interferes with homework! It's frustrating.
Yes absolutely! From about 19-22 I was diagnosed bipolar and on mood stabilizers and just thinking "why the hell isn't it working". Now I'm finally on Ritalin and it's helped so much, but I still have difficulty with my executive dysfunction and no one really seems to know what to do about it! /rant
