I wonder though if in some cases it is possible for depression or ptsd to 'dampen down' ADHD at times? Like they way depression can make you just want to sleep, or ptsd to dissociate.
Did you ever try ritalin or modafinil for ADHD, Hazel Girl?

No, I know for a fact that my ADHD symptoms are still present while depressed or while dealing with PTSD symptoms. My ADHD actually can make the others worse because I obsessively ruminate on negative thoughts. And no, I don't take any stimulants. I have dealt with it my whole life without them and have learned how to handle it. I also have a relatively "high functioning" (for lack of a better word) form of ADHD, that makes me more perfectionistic and obsessive than lethargic and easily unmotivated.
