ADHD and Depression

I have never experienced depression, which I am grateful that I have not. But I am a student who has ADHD and based on a quick google search about ADHD and depression; I live at a higher risk of having it because I live in a world that does not understand my challenges and tells me to try harder. I also have a hearing loss I was born deaf and hear with two cochlear implants which make me feel alone sometimes because my peers will not understand what it’s like to have a hearing loss until later in life. So based on both of these factors of having ADHD and a hearing loss, I should be unhappy about my life right, but I am not unhappy about my life because I live my life to the fullest every day some days more so than others. I also have an ever-raging battle against two stigmas that face me one concerning my ADHD, which is related to mental health and the other to my hearing loss. A vast majority of people can’t tell I am deaf why well I don’t use sign language, and I don’t have a deaf accent, and just like depression, you can’t tell I am deaf by looking at me unless I was wearing a big sign saying so. The same goes for my ADHD while I may not be physically bouncing off the walls my brain is, so don’t judge a book by its cover since you never know what is going on in their head.
