Causes, triggers, ADHD

Hey! I’m wondering if stress—whether extreme or more day-to-day—can trigger and/or cause BP2 in people with ADHD. I’m continuing to process and learn from all of your experiences, which I really appreciate.

I’ve only experienced manic or mixed episodes while taking SSRIs or SNRIs. I’ve dealt with chronic insomnia and anxiety for decades, and ongoing life and work stress hasn’t helped, of course. I haven't been dx with ADHD but am sure I have something. Untreated ADHD runs in my family and I am thinking my high functioning all my life has just been a mask.

I’d be grateful for any insights or stories you're willing to share. Thank you.
