Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. First of all you did not mention the age of your child. At childhood, hyperactivity and fidgety is the basis of ADHD diagnosis. When age progresses, hyperactivity comes down and attention deficit become predominant. Anxiety is also common in childhood which usually is not associated with ADHD.

I suggest, instead of asking for medicines here or online, please consult a psychologist in person. Let the psychologist assess the mental health of your child to determine whether the child has ADHD or not. Most of the ADHDs do not need medicines. Household and school training methodologies provide relief from the symptoms. There is no need to worry. Even if the child has ADHD, it is 100% curable.

Hope this answers your query. Further clarifications are welcome.
Good luck. Happy New Year. Take care.
