I spoke to my therapist (already seeing for general depression) after reading about different ways ADHD can manifest. I had always been told that ADHD manifested as hyperactivity and extreme lack of focus externally, so when I found out that what I have been going through could be ADHD I asked my therapist what she thought and she gave me an assessment and then recommended a psychologist who could prescribe and give a second opinion. I only have to check in quarterly with the Psych to make sure I'm not having any troubles with the medication.
Since starting treatment for ADHD my summiting if depression have severely reduced. I would say that I have many fewer depressed days and even when I do they aren't as hopeless from my perspective. If you think you might have ADHD I encourage you to speak to a therapist. Honestly I lucked out finding mine, so I don't know good resources to provide in how to find someone specific to talk to.
