Hi dear,
bipolar disorder requires a long term treatment.
First of all treatment of bipolar disorder depend on stage like manic stage or depressive stage.
If you are having manic phase than start with sodium valproate as it has sedative property if depressive phase start with lithium.
Lithium is good drug for bipolar disorder.
Also ECT is also good for bipolar disorder.
If one who has ADHD and refuse to take medicine than you may mixed it with food.
Consult psychiatrist for detail.
Thank you
