ADHD, Takes Focalin, Suppressing Appetite, Depression, Sleeping Issues. Treatment?

hi i am 15 male and i live in Oregon. i have ADHD and for it i take focalin. it has been surpressing my appetite. i have also had depression for a while but not because of the medication and it isnt light depression either. also recently ive had some sleeping issues. i have already talked to my doctor and he said anitdepressiants which i a not open to because of the way they make people feel, and cognitive therapy which i think wouldnt really even help with the depression none the less the hunger, or the sleep. i also exercise over 12 hours a week eat relatively healthy and still mantain a decent social portion of my life. so i guess what im asking is there anything that will make me sleepy, happy and hungry?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Beside the medicine there are lot of ways by which one can live happily, only thing is required your self confidence, high moral, positive attitude, maintaining good relation with people, these all factors will bring the good result, instead of taking anti-psychiatric drugs, I personally always advise my patients those having functional problems to just away from anti-psychiatric medicine, try to build up your mind for all the odd and even and you can do it it is not hard, have nice day.
