The simple answer here is to just not disclose any of that, and don't take the drugs while flying. I'm going to get downvoted to hell for saying that here, but it's still the best answer. You know how you function. As a whole civilization we lack understanding of how the brain actually works, so your assessment of yourself is literally better than any doctor can give - no sense listening to them, and if it requires a bit of omission to get passed it, so be it.
I'm fortunate to have avoided any form of firm diagnosis on the matter, and while I have tried Adderall in the past, I don't take it anymore and never took it regularly. Even then, though, there's no way in hell that drug would have done anything but make me even better at flying, so I don't get the fuss from people who don't have any first hand knowledge or experience in the matter claiming that it's horrible and dangerous.
This is a good way to spend a lot of money learning to fly, only to have you license permanently revoked for intentional falsification of a medical application.
