This is my hourly reminder that common knowledge was that girls "don't get ADHD" until fairly recently, so all the symptoms we developed trying to mask or as a result of abuse from our behaviors can often be identified first.

Which is why my treatment resistant major depressive disorder, which ruined my young suicidal life from age 9 to 34, has almost entirely resolved as a result of treating my ADHD.

I apologize if you've seen me say it before, but Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors can't work if there's no Seratonin to Inhibit!! SSRIs can't RI if there's no S!

I'm almost positive this is my problem, but my local health system won't let me see a psychiatrist.
