Is harsh self-criticism a symptom of depression?

I realize it's far from the only symptom.
I am going to talk to a doctor soon to address this and other concerns I have but I wanted to see what other people's experiences were.


I have ADHD too, btw.

@PKRainbowOmega Hi there! Nice to meet you. No two ADHDers' experiences are the same, but with that said, per webmd.com "Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression can go hand-in-hand. Doctors sometimes call them comorbid or coexisting conditions, meaning you can have both at the same time." It is a really great topic to bring up with your doctor, which is great that you have that appointment soon. In my own personal experience to your question though, yes, it was/is for me.

Oh, I wanted to point out that there is a community here at 7 Cups called, 'Support Plus' And that is where the sub-community, 'Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Support', lives: https://www.7cups.com/forum/SupportPlus_205/AttentionDeficitHyperactivityDisorderSupport_664/ in case that is of interest to you/you didn't find it yet. It took me a little bit to find it when I first joined 7 Cups. I didn't realize at first that it was within that community.

Take care
