Do I Have ADHD, Depression Or Both?
Description
ADHD and depression can look almost identical from the outside—but the label matters because the brain systems (and treatments) behind them are different. Get the wrong one and you may not improve, or even feel worse.
I break down the overlaps (fog, procrastination, overwhelm) and the key differences: what blocks motivation (during vs. after), trigger-driven mood swings vs. episodes without triggers, “too many options” vs. “no options,” and trait-like ADHD vs. episodic depression. You’ll learn clear ways to tell them apart.
If you’re still unsure—or have both—I’ll end with four tools that help either way: sleep hygiene, movement, instant rewards, and reducing scope. Use this to make smarter next steps.
