Hello Adult ADHD and Bipolar disorder has very thin demarcation. Some psychiatrists use term adult ADHD while other classify them into bipolar disorder variant. He is having poor symptom control. He has been in rehab for weed. Furthermore, he has poor concentration, don't follow commands, violence aggressive spells. Most likely they will fit in bipolar disorder. I will advise you to take him to Psychiatrist for revaluation of symptoms. Medicines like mood stabilizers as sodium valproate, Lithium are needed to control his aggression and violent behavior. Thanks
