Absolutely add causes depression and major mood swings. A large majority of criminals in jail/prison have undiagnosed/untreated add/adhd. I always doubt myself too and I think it's because very early in life I failed in school and gave up because I thought I was stupid. It's breeds self doubt in my opinion.
I take concerta (methylphenidate) twice a day and I now posess impulse control, which feels amazing. I don't think people realize how lucky they are to be born with a healthy mind. It is SO not a given.
I did take straight Ritalin 20 years ago and felt empty and void, I hated it.. I feel your pain. I'm not a candidate for the straight dose pill only time release which has made a huge improvement..
