> most of pdocs. are VERY cautious to rx Ritalin and other 'stimulant' to those who have depressive episodes. Partly, they think the Ritlain has a negative effect on your depression, ... in other word, exacerbation the depression due to 'activation/stimulation' in your system.
If the depression is severe then they're probably afraid that if they give you stimulants, you'll have the energy needed to act out your suicidal ideation.
