Sažetak
Impulsivity is a complex behavioural feature of many psychiatric disorders, in particular of risk-taking behaviour, and is an
important determinant of personality. Both ADHD and bipolar disorder express features of impulsivity. The concept of having two or
more simultaneous psychiatric conditions is an increasingly recognised concept in the field of psychiatry, and is important clinically
for management and prognosis. Consequently, the aim of this case presentation is to report about a young patient with both bipolar
II and ADHD, in order to better understand which of the possible clinical phenotypes of these psychiatric conditions exist in
comorbidity, mainly focusing on impulsive features because of the relevant challenge that this psychological aspect can represent in
the clinical treatment of these patients.
