Hello thanks for asking from HEALTH CARE MAGICYou have symptoms like inability to focus, scattered thinking, impulsivity, difficulty in decision making. You have been suffering from depression also. As per my opinion the symptoms you have mentioned are probably sequel of depression only and are not due to ADD. To come out of these symptoms you have to take treatment of depression only.Commonly SSRIs are used in depression like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc. They help to improve the depressive symptoms like low mood, anhedonia, decreased energy levels etc. As you also have problems of decreased focus, scattered thinking etc, such symptoms should respond to medicines like Modafinil, Armodafinil. These medicines will help to maintain day time alertness and will improve the focus. Consider consulting a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.Apart from that attend cognitive therapy sessions for better results.Thanks, hope this helps you.
