Managing Relationships with ADHD
By Suzanne Byrd
()
About this ebook
This short book is about managing relationships when you have ADHD.
In this short book we cover three key areas
The domain of the personal relationships at home
The domain of the world of work
The domain of wider friendship circles
Within these areas I seek to outline some of the key challenges that people with ADHD will face as well as some suggested solutions that have been provided by notable experts in the field.
We also wanted to make it clear that this book isn't solely intended for those who suffer from ADHD, or have been recently diagnosed with ADHD, but that it is for their wider circles. Their spouses, colleagues and friends, as it is only through the entire network working together, that the challenges faced by sufferers of ADHD and their loved ones can be overcome.

Introduction
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental disorder characterized by periods of elevated or irritable mood and energy (mania) followed by periods of depression. These mood swings can be severe and can affect a person’s ability to carry out their daily activities. Bipolar disorder typically develops in a person’s late teenage years or early adulthood, and it can significantly impact a person’s relationships, work, and overall quality of life. The exact cause of bipolar disorder is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. Bipolar disorder is a treatable condition, and with proper treatment, people with this disorder can lead fulfilling and productive lives.
History of Bipolar Disorder
The concept of bipolar disorder has a long history dating back to ancient civilizations. The ancient Greeks, for example, described two extreme states of mood that they called mania
and melancholia,
which are similar to what we now know as mania and depression. The term bipolar disorder
was not coined until the 20th century, however.
In the 19th century, the German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin first described the condition we now know as bipolar disorder in his textbook Compendium of Psychiatry.
