I personally don't think it should be prescribed for depression. It came up in another thread where someone was starting Adderall but the pdoc didn't really tell them why they were starting them on Adderall. Maybe the pdoc wanted to avoid labels. I thought that if the pdoc was going to prescribe adderall then they should at least give a diagnosis as to why.

To answer your question directly I was curious as to how common the practice was of prescribing amphetamines for depression.
