ADHD and Depression

When the brain is placed under a work load, as during a homework assignment, we would expect the under-active pre-frontal cortex to increase activity and get to work. But instead, nothing changes. The over-active limbic system remains over-active, and the under-active pre-frontal cortex remains under-active.

Depression Adhd

Each year I experience depression during the months of November through to the end of March. Here in Canada these are the winter months, when temperatures drop quickly, the first few days of the colder weather are generally my worst days. I have never been diagnosed with ADD, but I can relate to the type of depression described here. This has affected my life to a great extent over the years of my life (now 27 I started feeling this type of depression at 13) and have felt it each year since, some months have been milder than others. The worst times I've felt this way seemed to have a lead up with various factors, negative personal experiences with friends, and leaving school became the worst time in my life, I was 16 at the time. Or even the small details of missing keys frustration, of not saying what I wanted to someone 2 days prior, or just anticipating the worst of the next task. I believe that we have the power to attract exactly what we feelings we express outward into the world, the toughest part of my depression is knowing this and feeling unable to coax a smile to my lips.
