some ADHD medications can be used off-label for depression and other psychiatric symptoms

my psych did the same for me with depression and that was what finally flipped me from "there's no way in hell I have ADHD because I got good grades as a kid" to "oh shit there's probably a reason this medication allows me to actually feel calm and in control of my brain and not simply less depressed"

    I found that. Epilepsy medication also works for the Autistic ADHD and OCD combo. When find something that works for all 3 conditions without major side affects, to be told oh it's trail meds so it adds difficulties to consistency etc.
