Research Notes on ADHD and Depression


One out of every four adults with ADD/ADHD also suffers from symptoms of depression. It can be difficult to diagnose and treat ADHD when there are co-existing conditions. The symptoms may overlap and one of the conditions may not be accurately diagnosed, or medication may not be as effective. 1

Fast Facts:

  • Medication for ADHD can interfere with the diagnosis and treatment of depression.1
  • ADHD and major depressive disorder (MDD) are among the most common psychiatric disorders occurring in adulthood.2
  • The incidence of ADHD in the offspring of adults with recurrent depression is higher than in the general population.2
