Q: my husband says i am depressed because i have ADD and it that you have to have another problem too? i don't feel depressed,i do have ocd and anxitey.am i in denial about the depressed part?
Hi there
Depression can accompany ADHD but it doesn't mean that all people with ADHD have depression.
What is your husband saying is the reason for his thinking you are depressed especially if your doctor is saying you are not depressed? What symptoms is he seeing?
Unless your husband is a psychiatrist...he can't diagnose you. This sounds more like a communication issue with your husband rather than a new mental health problem for you.
I would trust your doctor's judgement.
Let us know what happens. Thank you for your question.
