ADHD and Bipolar Disorder in Adults: The Role of Emotional Dysregulation.

The role of Emotional Dysregulation in Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Bipolar Disorder in adults is of particular interest in scientific research. In the last four decades, a substantial body of scientific evidence has shown that ADHD is a lifelong disorder: it can persist, worsen leading to decompensation which could cause heart failure, go into "partial remission" with attenuated symptoms yet continue to have problems functioning in social situations. With this work we intend to deepen the clinical characteristics that unite and distinguish both disorders and the importance of the role assumed by emotional dysregulation in formulating the diagnosis.
