Me when I noticed how bad my anxiety was getting so I cut out caffeine and alcohol for a week and it all went away: ".... fuck"

Never had that particular issue, but I think that's only because of the ADHD.

Now that i think of it, every ADHD person I've ever met have been the chillest people ever. Maybe we are resistant to anxiety? I'd love to see some research about that

Unfortunately it’s the opposite, people with ADHD seem to be more likely to have anxiety: https://www.additudemag.com/adhd-and-anxiety-symptoms-coping/

There also seems to be a link between ADHD and epilepsy: https://www.additudemag.com/new-research-shows-adhdepilepsy-link/amp/

Probably selection bias for me, since all my ADHD friends have fantastic supportive family
