ADHD Children and teens had much higher rates of Major Depression and Dysthymia. A ten-year-old study showed 32.4% of children and teens with Major Depression had ADHD. So not only ADHD was the most common comorbid condition of major depression, more had ADHD and Major Depression than just Major Depression alone! More people with Major Depression and Dysthymia had ADHD than Generalized Anxiety Disorder! Why do these medical professionals not automatically screen for ADHD if depression or anxiety disorder are suspected with these numbers? Of the 188 patients screened, 104 patients (28.4%) had a diagnosis of MD alone, while the remaining had comorbid disorders. ADHD was the most common comorbidity; 125 (34.24%) patients were diagnosed as ADHD (65% were combined type) as well. Here’s more data from Dr. Atilla Turgay’s research article, I met him at a CADDRA conference many years ago, cool guy, RIP. The data shows the huge rates of ADHD in both major depression and dysthymia. Major Depression with ADHD In Children and Adolescents Atilla Turgay, MD, and Rubaba Ansari. Psychiatry (Edgmont). 2006 Apr; 3(4): 20–32. So 34.24% of children and teens with major depression had ADHD. 62.9% of children and teens with dysthymia had ADHD. Only 8-10% of children and teens have ADHD. With such massive numbers of people with ADHD having
Low hedonic tone and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: risk factors for treatment resistance in depressed adults https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6149933/ Results TRD (Treatment Resistance Depression)was significantly associated with the number of diagnoses (P<0.001), past (P<0.001) and present medications (P<0.001), chronic anhedonia (P=0.013), and suicide ideation (P-0.008). Undetected ADHD was present in 34% of TRD patients. The number of referral diagnoses (P<0.001), failed medications (P-0.002), and past selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor failures (P=0.035) were predictive of undetected ADHD in TRD. Conclusion Undetected ADHD may be more prevalent among TRD patients than previously thought. In addition, TRD patients are more likely to present with psychiatric comorbidity than non-TRD patients. Screening patients with depression for the presence of ADHD and chronic anhedonia/ low hedonic tone may help identify patients with TRD and undetected ADHD and improve treatment outcomes.

30 32 134 BCNDP govt is violating BC's Medicare Protection Act on ADHD diagnosis and treatment. Violating sections on: Public administration. "The plan is publicly funded and operated on an accountable basis." No. Defacto privatized ADHD assessments in many cases to private Nurse Practitioner companies charging $3-600 for an assessment, $80 to adjust meds via neglect & refusal to require All doctors to have #MandatoryCMECoursesOnADHD. Comprehensiveness. "All medically required services provided by enrolled medical practitioner." No. So many are defacto privatized to Nurse Practitioners, instead of requiring them to bill MSP so we don't have to pay. Universality. "The plan applies to 100% of beneficiaries on uniform terms and conditions." No. So many can't find a doctor or psychiatrist properly trained on ADHD. So many are defacto privatized to Nurse Practitioners, instead of requiring them to bill MSP so we don't have to pay. Accessibility. "The plan provides benefits on uniform terms and conditions on a basis that does not impede or preclude reasonable access to benefits by beneficiaries." Hell no. That is the main problem. We ADDers often can't access competent diagnoses and treatment in BC.

In December, the Canadian government listed two new terrorist groups that it described as “nihilistic,” a form of extremism rooted in a hatred of humans. In the aftermath of the shooting, there has also been a focus on Ms. Van Rootselaar’s gender identity, at a time when transgender issues have become a socially polarizing force. In a handful of high-profile shootings in the United States in recent years, the perpetrator has been wrongly identified as transgender on message boards and social media, including in the assassination last year of Charlie Kirk. Fewer than 1 in 1,000 mass shooters over the past decade have been identified as transgender, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit research group that tracks gun violence in the United States using police reports. The group defines a mass shooting as one in which four or more victims were shot or killed.
