Some ADHD stimulant medications quite literally boost your mood. A literal anti-depression pill.

This function is listed as a side effect of being on these meds. Which is true, it's not being used to treat depression, though is often being used to treat people with depression and treat the root cause of that depression. It just also happens to "perk" you up.
