i was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and depression long before i had just recently realized i had adhd when i started taking medicine for adhd i haven’t been depressed since i’m less than a month in but it’s helping so much i stopped taking medicine for depression and anxiety because i found myself able to manage it without medicine anymore i know you’re not supposed to do this without the advice from a doctor but honestly i was fine i’ve been saying for a couple months now that i just feel i just knew instinctually that my anxiety and depression issues are not stand-alone problems themselves but are symptoms of something else for reference i also have hypothyroidism which really messes with hormone regulation - now that i’m being treated for that my hormones seem to be more balanced and i’m not depressed my psychiatrist also loosely diagnosed me with bipolar but i don’t agree with her diagnosis i told her i thought it was bpd borderline personality disorder because i don’t have manic episodes like those who are bipolar i just have constant mood and emotional fluctuations - she put me on a mood stabilizer which helps me a lot  bottom line is i can understand why there is a lot of comorbidity with adhd
