I’m not a doctor but I do have adhd, depression and anxiety. A quick Google confirms they are in fact linked, so I’m not sure what you mean by “have nothing to do with each other”.
You can also be black, hungry or a chess-player. And also have ahdh. Doesn’t mean they’re necessarily connected. Especially if a meme like this wants to promote their symptoms as “due to ahdh”.
They definitely can have something to do with each other. Anxiety and Depression linked to ADHD is a very common symptom and it’s typical for patients who suffer from undiagnosed ADHD to seek medical assistance for the first two and then being diagnosed. Anxiety and depression can often be a co-morbidity (I hope I use the word right) of ADHD.
For me personally ADHD gives me anxiety due to the feelings of stress it causes and the depression comes from feeling unable to handle/cope with it.
Exactly what happened to me. I went for help with depression and anxiety. 3 years later, nothing really working, I find out I have severe ADHD at age 41. And my whole life made sense.
It is. You can have both of course and having ADHD can help develop some anxiety, but they have nothing to do with each other.

Not “necessarily connected” is far from “nothing to do with each other”. You need to stop shifting the goal posts and take the L.

Can, but don’t have to. A meme like this promotes a direct correlation. Can be indeed indirectly due to ADHD. Can also be a ton of other problems.
