Using surveys, cognitive tests and brain imaging, researchers have identified a type of depression that affects about a quarter of patients. The goal is to diagnose and treat the condition more precisely.
I was thinking literally the same thing. I wonder how these patients would respond to stimulant medication?
Or even non-stimulants like Atomoxetine (Strattera) that are known to be effective for ADHD. Could even try more experimental ones if you have money and a license to do whatever you want medically.
I just got put on Strattera (bipolar 2 and adhd) and i gotta say it’s been working pretty good for me
When I get my diagnosis it’s the first meds I’m trying, so hopefully it works out for me too.
