Hello. I am a 35yr old female. I am diagnosed ADD, prescribed Ritalin as a teen, but never liked the way it made me feel so quit taking it at 17. I have struggled with depression and anxiety on top of my ADD throughout my life. I smoked from age 9-29, and have been smoke free 6 1/2 years now. I also overcame drug addiction'clean 14 years.The last 6 1/2 years my struggle with depression has worsened. I have developed a serious eating disorder and have gained weight. I have recently read about the positive benefits of nicotine for a person with ADD, depression and anxiety. I am interested in trying the e-cigs/vapor cigs to see if I may benefit. My husband thinks it is not a good idea to re-start an addiction that was so difficult to overcome.Reluctantly, after some research, has agreed that it is worth a try. I am interested to hear how e-cigs have helped others with similar challenges in their life's. Also, where and with what would you recommend as a starting point for me, and I have never vapped before! Thank you.

This is something best discussed with and advice taken from a medical professional not anecdotal input from the interweb.
It is never a good idea to self medicate what could be serious medical / mental issues.

Oh honey you just described me 20 years ago. That said I'm not a doc and I really think you should start there. That also said I think vaping has helped my ADD and depression. It's given me something to focus on and enjoy and because of the ADD I get bored sooooo easily but trying new juice flavors and devices and tanks has kept it fun. Do you have a local B&M you can go to and try some things? If you do give it a try, if they are any good they can really help you out. If not, try a nice EVOD starter kit OR read some more and start with a MVP v2 and some different tanks and some nice juice. I spend way too much time researching before I pull the trigger online but I'm doing just fine and I'm very new. By the way everyone has a favorite set up, do some research and pick what you think works for you. I'm probably not going to be a dripper or someone who rebuilds stuff, it hurts me just to read about it and consider it.
PM if you'd like to talk more.

Spooky has given you two good options for starter equipment and Topwater's advise should be heeded. Get a medical opinion and then see about picking up something. If you need more info, plenty of people here will be glad to help out.
