If ADHD is a mental problem that has roots in secret fears about yourself, I'm sure a psychedelic experience could uproot those fears and present them to the host to be resolved.

You might be of the opinion that mental problems are fixed however. If you are, there is nothing anyone can say to convince you. Many mental problems could be thought of as spiritual problems insofar as you're not understanding yourself and why you're here. This leads to secret fears, which drives the cogs of many people's gears, but their blindness moves them only in circles.

Again, you'll be without convincing if you are of the victim mentality. If you're not, psychedelics are widely known for inducing huge character changes because something deep happens. You can think of it as a rotted root made anew. The plant "out of nowhere" thrives. It's the same thing for your mind. Clean the mirror and the message shines forth. This is hard to understand for many humans who have many self-created messages dirtying their mind. Psychedelics literally turns all that stuff off and you get to have a real experience as a result.
