Agreed. A friend of mine is a primary care doctor, and it's remarkable how often people come in for depression and after examination and labs it turns out their depression is heavily influenced by other issues, especially low testosterone or hypothyroid. A lot more people have issues with these than most people realize. There have also been people he has seen who were reporting depression, often where nearly every anti-depressant had been tried, where getting treatment for ADHD massively improved their case and was life changing. As much as people like to hate on Adderall nowadays, for people with ADHD it is miraculous.

Getting treatment for "depression" doesn't always mean SSRIs etc. Sometimes it means treating the underlying condition(s) that are having downstream affects. I would suggest everyone gets their Testosterone levels checked among other common things.

>often where nearly every anti-depressant had been tried, where getting treatment for ADHD

This is actually a somewhat difficult diagnosis to make, especially when diagnosing adult ADHD without the user documenting and bringing in a well defined log of their behavior (and possibly another person to point out things they don't know about themselves).

>ADHD is a highly heterogeneous disorder with a significant comorbidity rate.

Is thing that you read about in literature around it. And even more common than that is the comorbidity of all the above symptoms, that is ADHD and depression + more in autism.

I am in that case, low testosterone and hashimoto (hypothyroid), ADHD and big Scolioses. Last weeks I am dealing with insomnias, and had to take pills to sleep and it seems my parasympathic system is in alert mode for years, stress, divorce, ex-kid and older kid, etc.. I stopped SSRI after 21 years for 5 months and its probably causing my insomnias, the brain was not used for missing serotonine and brain don't stop thinking, loop, alert mode.

I am doing several blood analysis with a functional doctor and lyme may be around or was in the body, and so many other things. I was thinking I had lucky gut, but seems negative..

I did get my Vit D up to 65 and I seems to be issues with ADH hormone since kid and probably that makes dehydration. It's a fucking nightmare..

I may only see a testosterone replacement as a solution maybe..
