Sideblinded, I have PTSD and I improve with Adderall. Interestingly last hospital, after brouhaha about giving me adderall with violent ideation decided I was major depression and borderline traits. I saw it as a way to treat me effectively without getting spanked for giving ptsd stimulants.

At some point categorising the symptoms into cluster isnt as important as treating symptoms. Psychiatry isnt a logic puzzle. It is adjusting your brain by whatever means are available for optimal functioning.

Gabor Mate is a drug addiction ADD pdoc with a lot to say about ADD and early childhood psychological injury and trauma. Hes on youtube. His books are invaluable.

I know too how frustrating to have deep or complicated questions and get no response.
