Im confused and very worried, I know there are other things that can affect it like relationship problems, history of depression and a stressful life.. Im freaking out in case i get really bad post natal depression and not be able to look after myself and my child.

    ADHD will not in itself affect depression directly, the actions that you take as a result of ADHD could cause a trigger for depression itself. However depression during pregnancy is normal with hormonal fluctuations during the natural cycles.

    I wouldn't worry about things which are beyond your control, however if you do begin to suffer, go directly to your doctor and set up a support and treatment program.

    Depression is awful and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but it is easier to get over it the sooner you do something about it
