ADD and Depression: It is a very common association. In fact, it is possible that if you are not treated for ADD, you will develop depression. The reason is that the neurotransmitters involved in ADD (adrenaline and noradrenaline) are precursors of the neurotransmitters involved in depression (dopamine and serotonin). A diet to improve the precursors of neurotransmitters will have Amino Acids involved in the process.
