Apparently not.
It’s all confusing. No question about it. Unfortunately, it turns out that the chemistry of the brain is extremely complex. Doctors and researchers are still learning. Because of that complexity, it’s not always easy to arrive at accurate diagnoses. And it’s not always easy—or apparently even possible—to find treatments that provide real relief for many people.
Maybe before too long researchers will come to a better understanding of the neurological underpinnings of ADD and bi-polar disorder. Then, armed with a better grip on the organic chemistry, perhaps they’ll find newer and better ways of mitigating the myriad, sometimes contradictory symptoms of these afflictions.
In the mean time, I guess we commiserate. We hope for rapid medical progress. We try various hit and miss therapies. We try to muddle through.
