Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You know that Adderall is prescribed for ADD. You feel that you are having depression. I think you are creating your own negative situation. Why do you want to sit in your room and watch television? Why don't you come out? Why don't you talk to people around you and make new friends? You are creating your own cage named depression and just sit inside it doing nothing. Whom to blame?

Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you changing your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
