Of course I remember your supposition that Sirius appears to be 
clinically depressed. If I were to choose a depressed character from 
Potterverse it will definitely be Sirius, not Harry. But now that 
Sirius has moved onto `the next great adventure', hopefully he has 
tasted some real joy in (after)life!

 

My (Melanie) reply:

I agree that Sirius had spouts of depression but I have always thought that Sirius seemed to be ADD.  He seemed completely impulsive and prone to fits of rage and tantrums.  Also there is the fact that he hated being locked up in house, had a major inferiority complex.  While those traits are not always found in people with ADHD they certainly are quite common.
