Study up on the symptoms of ADD and ADHD. Go into the doctor's office with all of those symptoms as your complaints. Stimulants are the mainstay in treating those. So basically, instead of going to a doctor to get treated for depression, turn it into ADD/ADHD instead. Maybe a little fudging involved, but ya know. Sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do because no one else is going to do it for us.
This is the EXACT reason why it's so difficult for me to get treated for ADHD--people lying (and it is LYING not FUDGING). This really irks me off that you even suggested this. That's abuse.
