Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The symptoms that you have stated appear to be of bipolar mood disorder along with ADHD. ADHD very frequently gets extended to adulthood as well. Bipolar Mood disorder will need you to take mood stabilizers and antipsychotics for improvement. Mood stabilizers such as valproate, lithium, carbamazepine and antipsychotics like quetiapine, olanzapine or aripiprazole are good drugs for this purpose.
The treatment needs to be taken for a longer period and you can function as a normal person during the period.
For ADHD methylphenidate and adderal are good drugs. Even bupropion is an effective therapy.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:

Wish you good health,
