I really enjoyed going through your website. I came
here in search of help for my husband (45) who has
suffered with anxiety (some bad panic attacks) most
of his adult life. This disorder is accompanied by
what seems to be an incurable and lifelong
irrational fear of flying as well as an explosive
temper. A few years ago our now 8 year old son was
diagnosed ADD. At the time I was given many
questionnaires to fill out about the family. I
strongly believe after much reading on the subject
that my poor husband has also suffered with ADD most
of his life. I don't see from the screening test
that he is either BPD or Bi-polar. Can you suggest
avenues of help for someone possibly suffering from
this combination of disorders?
Dr. Heller's Answer:
The BPD and bipolar need to be treated first. In my
experience 80% of those with bipolar can
successfully take stimulants like Adderall and
Ritalin as long as a mood stabilizer like Tegretol
(carbamazepine) or Depakote (valproic acid or
valproate) are on board. Those who can't need to
take Strattera.
There is no problem co-treating the BPD for ADHD.
In fact treating each disorder improves the other
disorder as well.
