    ADHD and bipolar disorder share some similar symptoms like mood swings and impulsiveness, but differ in important ways. ADHD involves disorganization and difficulty focusing, while bipolar disorder includes periods of anger and erratic shifts between high and low moods. ADHD typically develops earlier and is present in childhood, whereas bipolar disorder usually develops later between late teens to young adulthood. Both can be treated through medication and therapy.
