In reply to Yes, in that my ADD caused depression, posted by HelenInCalif on August 2, 2007, at 19:05:21
Helen, What are your ADD symptoms and what meds are you taking? Have you ever tried Strattera? Was it helpful or are you on traditional stimulants? On an antidepressant too?
Thanks for any info on how your ADD caused depression. I'm not sure ADD causes mine exclusively but I believe that there may be a greater impact than my pdoc is aware of. He is convinced the majority of my symptoms are related to depression but I think many of my disorganized and unfocused traits are from ADD too. I take too much time with my work and rather than be considered thorough, I am considered slow and unproductive. There is no time for being accurate anymore, just for volume. Modern times do not agree with my ADD traits. I am unable to focus enough to read and most things I read do not hold my attention and I almost never complete any book or article.
