Comments on: apathy http://pdf23ds.net/2006/03/13/apathy/ I will not be swayed be every small current; nor will the memes faze me or infect me. I am pure. I am intelligent. I am rational. I am at peace.

I'm no neurochemist, no psychiatrist, no pscyhotherapist, so I say we all have to get through our days as we can manage. Sometimes that requires a supplement of some sort, even a transitional sort, and finding that can be hell. Ach, that came out too detached, too easily mistaken for judgmental irony.

Most of the meds haven't worked for me. I've decided, I think, that a lot of my depression has stemmed from not being able to work on the problems I find so interesting because of a lack of attention. And the concerta I'm on now has <a href="http://pdf23ds.net/2006/04/13/coming-alive/" rel="nofollow">really been helping</a>. Other sources of depression were family circumstances that I'm now free of, and my depression has been getting lighter. That, and I have had some social "adjustment" issues that I'm overcoming, and I think all that should just about take care of it. But I'm moderately confident that the ADD medication is really very helpful, and probably much more helpful than anti-depressants (of which I've tried several).

Are you sure that your diagnosis would be ADD rather than depression? I really don't know much about how diagnoses work, mind you, and it's very likely that ADD and depression could be related or overlap. I hope you find something that helps you feel better.
