Anyone here being treated for bipolar disorder and add? If so, how did you find a Dr  that was experienced treating both disorders simultaneously? Any advice would be appreciated.

Most psychiatrist have experience treating both since they are both considered "mental disorders".  
Have you been diagnosed with both?  Do you have bipolar 1 or 2?

The system goes:  first you see a psychologist (they cannot give meds) then you see a psyciatrist (they give meds) then they set up therapy.  You must have insurance coverage (at least to the one I take my child to) but there may be Medicaid coverage so check into that.
