>that Ritalin alone could treat depression. I know that Ritalin used along with an antidepressant is good for depression.
If someone had a depression that was lifted by a stimulant like Ritalin or Adderall alone, wouldn't you start wondering if their wasn't something wrong with their body instead of their brain? Cuz wouldn't that mean it was just a physical depression?
> I would just see how things go with the Ritalin. If in the future you find that you still have depression, then you can add an antidepressant to take along with the Ritalin.
Also, how would one know if they had ADD if they had depression, when the symptoms of ADD are frequently encompassed in the depression symptoms?? I mean, mostly the symptoms of ADD are part and parcel of depression, for me at least, so how would anyone ever know...?
I'm confused.... :/
