ADHD can correlate with depression. You still need to treat the depression though. Untreated depression will indeed blind you to anything positive about anything.
Yup, it‘s probably that. In a societal vacuum, the curiosity would exist, but the daily struggle and resulting depression overshadows it.

Same, was speaking from experience as well. I consider myself recovered from the depression now, but it was definitely something I needed to proactively address.
