Hi sb12, I agree with Larynxa, and just to expand sideways for a moment – depression is often a side affect of undiagnosed ADHD, along with anxiety / anxiety or panic disorder. Both of these are mental health consequences but ADHD isn’t in and of itself a mental health problem. Somewhere along the line you have to make a decision about yourself, gather all your strength and move in a direction that is about both acceptance of your ADHD and related support. The ADHD medication Methylfenidate boosts your ability to concentrate and get moving around, but is also known to lift some aspects of depression.
Decide whether you want to move away from Prozac and onto ADHD only meds – this will take time but may well open up a future for you in the longer term.
