ADHD and Depression

ADHD and Depression: Important Tips to Get Help If You Have Both ADHD and Depression

They also have several coping strategies for the symptoms and may have chosen habits, addictions, or lifestyles in a manner that the effect of ADHD is not very apparent [9]. Especially in adulthood, ADHD and depression together can cause challenges during diagnosis. The next step is to discover a treatment plan. This prevents boredom and reduces the challenges one may face in initiating tasks. ADHD and depression are comorbid and strongly related . P. D. Joel Nigg and A. D. D.
