She was diagnosed ADHD, and then later on diagnosed bipolar as well?
I have ADHD and take medication for it. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 20. One thing I remember though, when I was being diagnosed with ADHD I was also screened for bipolar disorder, among other things, but bipolar disorder was the main one because giving ADHD medication to someone who is bipolar is dangerous as it can trigger manic episodes. If someone has both ADHD and bipolar it takes a lot of work to get the right combination of meds so that the person is "balanced". When I say "a lot of work" I am talking about work on your daughter's part, not yours. Hmm, I'm not sure why I'm sharing this lol...although I will say that ADHD, bipolar disorder, etc. can and do share some common tendencies with alcoholism.
