Just out of curiosity, do you remember what ADD type you scored the highest in? I'm the Inattentive Couch Potato. The other types were Classic, Overfocused, Temporal Lobe, Limbic and Ring of Fire.
I would discuss the possibility of ADD with your pdoc, see what he says. Maybe a trial of ADD medication would be helpful...first because, even if it doesn't target depression, you could still experience relief from your ADD symptoms - the restlessness and boredom and difficulty with concentration and focus. Relief from these symptoms could ease the depression.
Don't give up! I know it's hard to mess with all those damn pills - the expense alone can be daunting, never mind the side effects. But once you finally, thank you God, find the right medication - no matter how long it takes - the effort is worth it, I'm here to tell you. I SHOULDN'T be here to tell you, by all rights I should be dead, the things I was doing...but here I still am!
