Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. A lot of individuals with ADD show some depressive symptoms. Sometimes patients of ADD while on attenterol show increased risk of suicidal attempts. He is on amphetamines like Concerta and has been asked to take Aripiprazole and Prozac. Prozaxc or Fluoxetine will help to control the depressive symptoms and he will feel better. Prozac will also help to reduce the suicidal attempts. Similarly Aripiprazole will help to reduce the psychotic symptoms and will help in mood stabilisation. Please continue to give him medicines as per prescription and wait for improvement. Visit his doctor for any expert advise.
