Brain Symptoms

[Ashfaren]

I have difficulty understanding new information, retaining in memory, thinking, processing, fatigue, memory problems, concentration problems, distractibility, worry. Anybody else has these problems 24/7 ? I don't know if they are from depression or ADD. Although i am extremely sensitive to stimulants, can't tolerate minimum dosage makes me believe i have something else. Are these symptoms of ADHD or depression? What meds can i try for these?

Good Morning!

Sounds like you are in need of an appointment with a doctor sir! I have both ADHD and Depression, I take medication for both... so I understand the struggles that come with each condition.. especially when you aren't feeling well.. so... I will say.. Have you called your doctor? How'd that go?

You asked about medication-- Each person is different and meds work different for each person and may need to be adjusted over time so.. Yes.. I know how unhelpful that is... but... Thats why I asked if you made a doctors appointment. Now, I know access to mental healthcare isnt available for everyone.. which.. ::sigh:: is a sore topic for me and maybe a post for another day and not really worth the tangent right here but.. I digress.

So.. If you want to share a bit more about your journey thus far I may have resources I can share with you...
