I've been diagnosed w/ ADD, and my doctor prescribed me antidepressants last week. The truth is, could I have one and not the other? Or even neither?
I've always had extreme problems with focusing on things that bored me, keeping a steady train of thought, and generally get addicted to things that I enjoy. (Books, videogames, tv shows, whatever. I say addicted as in I'll spend a lot of time doing these things, but not to the point where it takes over my life or anything bad like that.) Since high school started, I've been heartbroken, have developed slight philophobia due to this, and I'm often depressed. I'm also finding it harder to socialize, and my grades are falling from my inability to focus and my constant thoughts of the past, regrets, etc.
So, can anybody help me? Is it really neccessary to take medication, and do I even have any of these things? I've taken online ADD and depression tests, and both say I am high at risk for these problems.
