Please tell me, could depression reverse my adhd?

Depression would: Not reverse adhd. However, if you are normally hyperactive and develop a severe depression in which you slow down - this could have the appearance of changing your adhd.

Probably not: Adhd does not disappear in adults. Some adolescents do outgrow it with hormonal changes (about 1/3) or 1/3 learn to cope without meds. 1/3 benefit from meds in adulthood. Depression might slow someone down a it, but adhd would still be there. Both would need treatment.
