Question: I know i have adhd-i now what?
i checked symptoms and such on about 15 websites and adhd inattentive or add is me DEAD-ON scarily so. I am 15 so if i just go and tell my phycologist i have adhd she will think i'm trying to get medications off of her :(
well anyways i have been describing my symptoms and i have been depressed for a while (i looked up adhd and realized it was me and then it described everything that could happen to me leading up to depression, it was really strangely accurate) but she is starting me on depression pills. My adhd is KILLING ME at my new school and i can almost not last another day, what do i do?!?!?!?!!?!?

The problem is. The medication for ADHD can increase any feeling of depression.
That is why you need the pills you are taking.
Just take it slowly. It is a process which you cannot speed up.
Tell your psychologist you think you have ADHD.
It is very had to prove someone actually has this.
What I know is, that the symptoms had to be there already when you were very young. (around 4 years old) So if you never had any of those symptoms before you hit puberty, than it probably is not ADHD, but just being a messy teen.
