> The depression basically severely reduced my ability to mitigate my ADHD symptoms, causing them to become very apparent, essentially being co-morbid with each other.

I had this experience as well; in particular it really impacted my ability to work/keep a job. The added stress in turn worsened my depression, etc.

Fortunately, I was able to take almost half a year off and focus on stabilizing/recovering without further damaging my career or economic status. Many people are not so fortunate.
