    That was extremely helpful for me. It explaines me to a tee! I have ADHD, Bipolar, Bulimia (non-purging type) and I have often thought I have borderline traits. This explains why because I have a propensity to impulsivity.

    This confused me. I have symptoms on both sides. I have been tested and have ADD. Could I have something else. Need help comment please.

    Hi Jetro! Would you like Dr J to respond to your question? If you do, could you please post it in the Ask An Expert section of the Forums? Thanks!

Doctor Jain explains where a person with ADHD falls on the continuum of personality traits known as Impulsivity and Compulsivity. Or Extrovert and Introvert. Or ‘Heart’ people and ‘Head’ people.
