As someone with ADHD who is in a great job and able to walk & bus to work, working about 30 hours a week on a great salary, with a wife and girlfriend, able to have many hobbies, I got depression last year. Started an SSRI, and it actually fixed whatever chemical funkiness is in my brain. Sure, it could’ve been dopamine burnout, or drinking beer casually as a hobby (living next to a dozen breweries), but it was 95% a chemical issue. I have the energy I had in my mid 20’s. And ADHD meds help me actually focus on what I want to focus on. For me, it’s all a chemical imbalance, not because of my living situation or whatever.
Sometimes it is just chemical, and we need to accept that.
