When Daniel was diagnosed with both ADHD and depression, his psychiatrist gave him a choice: SSRI or Ritalin first. He chose Ritalin, eventually added an antidepressant, and has been stable on both for years. But he's wrestling with a crucial question: if his depression is secondary to untreated ADHD, can he ever come off the antidepressant? This episode explores the clinical reality of comorbid ADHD and depression — the numbers, the treatment sequencing logic, and what "under clinical supervision" actually means for tapering. We break down the difference between secondary depression and true comorbidity, why hyperbolic tapering matters, and why staying on both medications long-term might be the expected outcome, not a treatment failure.
