This is my hourly reminder that common knowledge was that girls "don't get ADHD" until fairly recently, so all the symptoms we developed trying to mask or as a result of abuse from our behaviors can often be identified first.

Which is why my treatment resistant major depressive disorder, which ruined my young suicidal life from age 9 to 34, has almost entirely resolved as a result of treating my ADHD.

I apologize if you've seen me say it before, but Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors can't work if there's no Seratonin to Inhibit!! SSRIs can't RI if there's no S!

What are you using for Seratonin?

It's almost exactly the same story for me.

Took me until age 37 and my experience with SSRIs has been BAD.

Losing all those years to depression is still a major bummer for me, leaving me low key depressed most times. And despite knowing all about it and managing it with routines and medication, my ADHD still often feels like a significant disability.

I'm almost positive this is my problem, but my local health system won't let me see a psychiatrist.

Wait do we mess up seratonine as well? I thought it’s dopamine.
