A member asked:
Can severe adhd or low dopamine levels and a very disorganized brain be responsible for psychological drugs like antidepressants not working on you ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very much possible: Please don't self medicate or stop prescribed psychiatric medicines on your own, keep a close follow up with your doctor/psychiatrist, seek a second opinion if you wish, but never be on your own with those drugs on board,
