Yes. Children with one bipolar parent have a 30% chance of developing bipolar disorder.

Can a neurologist help children with ADHD?
ADHD is most commonly, due to an deficiency in dopaminergic activity in the prefrontal cortex, which leads to more impulsivity, difficulty staying still (inhibiting movement), and diffculty maintaining focus or concentrating. The most common reason for this is due to mutations (variations) in the dopamine receptor genes, which lead to reduced binding affinities for dopamine (dopamine can't bind as well to the existing dopamine receptors, leading to reduced dopaminergic activity in the brain). That is why dopaminergic stimulants are most often used to treat ADHD, as it is a neurochemical disorder. As such, a neurologist or psychiatrist can administer medication or help with alternative therapies to help treat the disorder.

Most people are diagnosed at a time when Hyperactivity is very common (IE <9-ish) and have the label follow into adulthood. I'm not saying there is not such thing, but it's a controversial subject... Back to the question, yes the main medicine treatment for ADHD includes stimulant drugs... But non-stimulants like atomoxetine are used as alternatives.
