This is something I've read up on extensively over the years and have tried first hand. It has proven to be a life changer for me.
Read up on some of the symptoms of gluten intolerance, intestinal candida overgrowth, sugar sensitivity, etc and you'll be amazed at the similarities to ADHD, anxiety, depression ....
I'm not pulling a Tom Cruise here and saying that this is a cure all for everyone. Medicine definitely has its place. I'm just saying that for me personally, a huge shift in diet and eating habits kept me off prescription medications and allowed me to feel fantastic.

Yeah that is a good point. At the same time I was "diagnosed" I also started eating and exercising better (just a coincidence, not planned or anything) and that really helps. I have the equivalent of 3 cans of soda a year. No sugar in coffee. No fast food . I actually log 26 hours of sports a week. It doesn't take a lot of work and no complicated medicines, and I feel a lot more mentally alert and focussed than ever.
