Will Intake Of Concerta Instead Of Adderal And Paxil Reduce Depression In A Teenager?

A friend of mine at work says her teenage dautghter is on Adderal and an antidepressant.( Paxil) The daughter is still depressed. The mother wonders if Adderal is resulting in depression. She asked about Concerta. I heard that Concerta often is not effective. The daughter will be going to counseling The daughter gets good grades and does not want to stop the Adderal. As any teen she resists mother s suggestion to get involved in other social activities. Any suggestions on how to encourage socialization and any thoghts about medication?

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that she needs social allignment. She should be made to mingle in the community. She should have a group of friends. Should be taken to the functions, and allowed to go to out stations.
Encourage her to take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods,to have good health resistance against the infections.
Depend only on doctors for the drugs.
Never talk about her health before her.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
