About 30 percent of those with ADHD will experience a depressive episode at some time in their lives. Depression can be independent of the ADHD, or it can result from ADHD symptoms. ADHD has a significant impact on the course of depression. Studies find more depressive symptoms and increased severity in individuals with ADHD than in non-ADHD counterparts. When you have ADHD and depression, the symptoms of both conditions are worse than if you had either disorder alone. In addition, the risk of suicide is higher in those with ADHD. This webinar will discuss the symptoms of depression and the line between ADHD symptoms, a “bad” mood and clinical depression. Treatment interventions will also be discussed, as well as the importance of understanding suicide and its risks.
