I know that people with depression, anxiety or basically most of the mental health issues can experience such symptoms.
I've never gotten to talking more in depth about it with a professional, because since it has been a part of me my whole life, I thought my current issues such as depression were more appropriate to discuss.

Maybe you should look into it. Sometimes ADHD is the primary issue and is making or causing the depression or anxiety. It may help you more. Many people with ADHD also have depression and anxiety. Good luck.
