_Liaison_

I have severe depression and zero focus. Adderall helps keep me at neutral rather than mildly suicidal, but doesn't improve my focus. I get overwhelmed and frustrated that my mind jumps around. What can I do?

I feel that there are a lot of assumptions being made here. I exercise, cook healthy meals, do improv comedy, volunteer, and read like crazy while enjoying a nice bath. I have a full time job as a molecular biologist, have a MPH, and am working on another degree.

I also have severe depression, anxiety, and insomnia, with moderate ADD.

I've found that smoking weed at night makes a good adjunct treatment in my life. The insomnia is diminished and I'm better able to focus the next day. Does that make me lazy to you?

My favorite Amy Poehler philosophy is "good for you, not for me". Meditation works for you? Awesome that's wonderful, but it's just not for me. Marijuana works well for me, but it's not for you. That's good too. :)

Psych didn't know, ergo why I was asking someone who specializes in ADHD

I am the same way. ADD, anxiety, and depression. I only feel relaxed after doing something high adrenaline or after improv.
