Re: Advise from the grilfriend

William, my husband is sure he has the inattentive ADHD, but Ritalin (stimulant for ADD) didn’t help him. He just about hit rock bottom about a month ago, I went with him to the GP – he was finally able to accept the fact that he had depression, it was a severe eposide, and that it wasn’t going to get better by itself (that’s a direct quote from our psychotherapis). GP put him on antidepressants, just a low dose. There was an immediate change. He’s much better with the meds.

If you haven’t had a formal diagnosis, it’s well worth the time and effort. A good doc will investigate many other possibilities that might mimic ADHD, or be present alongside ADHD. When it comes to meds and other forms of treatment, it makes sense to get advice and help from people who are experienced in adult ADHD. They’re not easy to find.

I’m 56 years old. It’s never too late to take a step towards a better quality of life.
