Depression and ADHD

The symptom overlap between ADHD and Depression is wide, making dual screening incredibly important to discern the true nature of symptoms and develop the most appropriate treatment plan.

Top 5 things to know about Depression and ADHD

Depression is present when symptoms exist for two or more weeks.

Common depression symptoms include feeling sad, loss of interest in pleasure, isolation, changes in appetite and sleep, lack of self worth, among others.

The overlap of symptoms between depression and ADHD means that determining whether one or both is present requires individualized questioning and a strong doctor-patient relationship.

Having ADHD puts you at 4x the risk of depression.

Our ADHD Assessment screens for depression using a validated screening instrument, and diagnostic-focused questions. The results of that screening are included in the final report so that the patient can discuss the best possible treatment options with their clinician.
