Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors (may act without thinking about what the result will be), or be overly active.

The symptoms continue, can be severe, and can cause difficulty at school, at home, or with friends.

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression).

These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior and the ability to think clearly.
