the differnce between by-polor and a.d.d. and h.d.?

Question

whats the difference?

Answer 1

bipolar is when you have mix emotions like every second.
first your happy then your sad right after.

a.d.d is when you have a short attention span. which is what i have but its like whe nyou cant pay attention to something when you really should.

i dont know what h.d is though :)

Answer 2

by-polor has nothing to do with either ADD or ADHD
but......
ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder
ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyper-Activity Disorder
I have ADD and if you have it you cannot pay attention in class or at home. It is hard to focus and sometimes you find yourself staring off into space (dont know if you usually do but I grew out of that). If you are not on a perscribed medicine it is hard to do homework and other work without being distracted by something you would rather be doing.
People with ADHD have trouble staying in place for an extended period of time and cannot focus as well but in a different way. They are very hyper and cannot control themselves without a perscribed medicine.
I do not remeber what by-polor is but i know it has nothing to do with those two and the descriptions of those two should be of pretty good help to you.

Answer 3

By-polor multiple personality or different behaviors. A.d.d is when the attention expand is short. i dont know what h.d. is.

Answer 4

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. Different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through, the symptoms of bipolar disorder are severe. They can result in damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide. But there is good news: bipolar disorder can be treated, and people with this illness can lead full and productive lives.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) is a condition resulting in symptoms of inability to maintain attention, impulsive behaviors and/or motor restlessness. The prevalence of AD/HD in adults is thought to be around 4.4% (see Kessler, et al-Arch Gen Psychiatry 2005; 62:593-602)

AD/HD is a neurobiological disorder resulting from problems in the dopamine neurotransmitter systems in the brain. Most cases are genetically inherited. If a parent or close relative has AD/HD there is a 30% chance that a child will have AD/HD. Twin studies show that if an identical twin has AD/HD, there is a 50% chance the other twin will have it also. AD/HD is not caused by poor nutrition, ineffective parenting, drugs, or allergies. Other medical conditions may cause AD/HD-like symptoms (such as severe head trauma, thyroid problems, fetal alcohol syndrome and lead intoxication), however, and for this reason a professional evaluation should be obtained to rule out other medical conditions.

When the brain isn't getting adequate neurochemicals, it tries to find ways to increase their release. Movement, physical activity, focusing on things that are stimulating in themselves, or doing things which cause stimulation are three common ways that people with AD/HD stimulate their brains.

People who can focus only on things that interest them, and disregard less interesting things, are often faced with additional problems such as an academic underachievement, lack of social skills, an inability to stay organized, or complete important tasks. These often result in difficulty with personal relationships, staying employed, or completing an education. People may also stimulate themselves by doing reckless or dangerous activities and thus complicate their lives with physical and legal problems. top of page

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder of childhood, estimated to affect 3 to 5 percent of school-age children. Its core symptoms include developmentally inappropriate levels of attention, concentration, activity, distractibility, and impulsivity. Children with ADHD usually have functional impairment across multiple settings including home, school, and peer relationships. ADHD has also been shown to have long-term adverse effects on academic performance, vocational success, and social-emotional development.

Despite the progress in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of children and adults with ADHD, the disorder has remained controversial. The diverse and conflicting opinions about ADHD have resulted in confusion for families, care providers, educators, and policymakers. The controversy raises questions concerning the literal existence of the disorder, whether it can be reliably diagnosed, and, if treated, what interventions are the most effective.
