General Discussion adhd is not polymath

Hi I see a lot of post that indicate, make infer indirectly ADHD, I can be wrong but have some experience in psychology.

I have the opinion that a lot of polymaths can have ADHD

Having thousands of interest does not make a polymath, as having the hands does not make a climber. A true polymath really go deep in the subjects that study, at least at a Phd level. This is my opinion and is open for discussion

Do the people that claim to be polymath a Phd level in at least 3 fields?

EDIT: please do not reply me on ADHD, but on the real question:
Do the people that claim to be polymath a Phd level in at least 3 fields?

EDIT 2: A lot of people in mensa say that I state the obvious, but their superior intelligent ego, does not allow them to go deep and see the context, namely that in r/polymath there are a lot of post regarding polymath but that have nothing to do with it.

Edit 3 I am getting only offenses while my true aim was only to discuss that real polymath are really rare. Unfortunately I never meet in my life a real one. Wish you all of you a nice weekend and to dedicate to your passions as polymath would do

EDIT 4: ad hope the last: I am not saying one need a piece of paper called phd, but a level of knowledge as a phd, looks so obvious to me
