Write a research report on the topic, “How do you get things done when you have depression and ADHD?”ADHD is a disorder marked by it’s deficiency in dopamine, attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Effecting about 5% of American adults that are currently diagnosed as well as many who have no idea they have it (Jordan, 2022). Many people still think of ADHD as a disorder for children that they eventually grow out of causing much later diagnosis for many people, while also shaming symptoms as a morality failing (Koyuncu et al., 2016). So with these notions in mind I want to look at the likely increase in other disorders being diagnosed along side a person’s ADHD diagnosis. Such issues as sleep disorders (Wajszilber et al., 2018), anxiety (Koyuncu et al., 2016) (Lévy, 2004), and depression (McIntosh et al., 2009) have been seen to have high comorbidity with in the ADHD population (Sobanski, 2006). I speculate that this is due to the physical lack of dopamine necessary for regulation or sleep and mood as well as social pressures on people with this disorder. Both leading to multiple disorders at once. Jordan, M. (2022, July 20). Adult ADHD: statistics and facts.
