Hi, I am Erwin and I am going to be doing an "Ask Me Anything" about mental health on September 10th, R U OK day. I am not a mental health expert, besides being diagnosed with AHDH at age 40 and depression just a few months ago. I am living in Melbourne, so in a pretty strict lockdown with my family. I am doing Ok-ish most days though :)
I have written a few articles about my experience with ADHD on medium you can find at:
https://medium.com/@evanderkooghI obviously can not diagnose you, if you think you may have either, you should absolutely seek out a professional who can properly diagnose you. I can confirm that symptoms you have are consistent with symptoms that I have, but that doesn't mean that you do or do not have either ADHD or depression.
I will answer all questions on my Twitter at
https://twitter.com/@evanderkoogh and will post a link in the same places I posted this AMA.
Feel free to ask me quite literary anything. About ADHD or depression themselves, but also how I deal with them, medication I take, how the diagnoses went, and how it affects work and relationships.
Feel free to submit as many questions as you want.
