There's a good number of ADHD meds that have side effects for anxiety and depression.
They're not as good as actual anxiety or depression meds, but it's not nothing.
To my Elvanse has been the best thing. I was in a horrible position mentally before getting my meds. They truly helped my excessive rambling thoughts that always made me feel worse about me, my situation, my history and everything I do and am. Then when I started on the meds they just kinda went away and my ability to kinda think critically and put an effort into feeling better came back.
It was truly a life saver back when I started taking them and even today if I forget to take them two or three days it all blows back on me again.
