Does ADHD medication help with depression and anxiety


Answers:
ADHD medication is not designed to help with depression or anxiety, and in fact can actually cause depression and anxiety. Though ADHD medications, such as concerta (which I take every morning), can help to calm yourself down and slow your mind down a bit so that you arent thinking all the time, (if youre depressed then you tend to NEVER stop thinking about how life sucks.) I hope this information helps you. (I'm speaking from experience.) OMG my best friend has ADHD, OCD, and ADD so im like a professional!! (not really to all you actual professionals :) annywayyy ADHD meds can make someone be better about somethings, but once it starts to wear off, everything, including anxiety and depression get sooo much worse. but the meds can also make someone seem depressed or anxious. hope this helps, if not, ssorry!! ANSWER 2 ADHD medicine methylphenidate can be used as augmentor in the treatment of treatment resistant depression.
