| Summary: | Aims: Background: Standard depression treatments often provide partial relief but fail to address the underlying cognitive and motivational deficits associated with undiagnosed comorbid Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), leaving patients feeling stuck in an endless cycle of procrastination, fatigue, and low mood.
