ADHD is fascinating (and a pia if you have it) because it can present symptoms of anxiety and depression, even some emotional lability. People often underestimate it, "oh you're just spacey. If you just concentrate...."I recall a discussion on ADHD overlapping with borderline symptoms and bipolar. Not borderline personality disorder unless coping behaviors are dysfunctional. (All IMO)
