adhd

my grandaughter refuses to listen. She always insists on her way and her way only. Her father is bipolar and might have adhd. I want to know if she might be the same?

Your daughter should be evaluated by a pediatric mental health professional. It is really the only prudent way to proceed. However, I should point out that a child's wanting things her way is not really diagnostic of either bipolar disorder or ADHD.
