Seriously, what is the line between the loss of focus due to depression, and the inability to focus due to ADHD.

Because I got diagnosed with depression late in life (far too late, quite frankly...long after it had already messed up my life/future/etc...)

But yet, my symptoms are constantly showing up in ADHD memes.

I'm very very confused.

    The symptoms of both can be quite similar, I heard. That might be, why it is seems advisable to deal with the symptoms of depression before checking up people for ADHD. The point is, I'd say, that one can be depressive but not neurodivers and show this behaviour. Or one might have ADHD and show this behaviour, without being depressive. Or one might have both … or something complete different and still show this behaviour. A symptom alone might have quite different causes.
