Mentioning ADHD during a job interview?

I am a law student (UK) hoping to break into investment management or trading. My second year results were terrible because I had depression caused by undiagnosed ADHD. I am now doing well in my final year (Got a 2:1 for my first semester) but I'm afraid my 2nd year results might drag me down to a 2:2. If I am asked to explain my grades, should I mention it but spin it in a "obstacle I had to overcome" context? I don't intend to use it as an excuse, I would like to highlight how I had to rebuild my routine and most of my life from scratch etc. If this is a bad idea, are there other ways to explain bad grades? I have decent work experience (both in a law firm and hospitality) and packed extra-curriculars. 

 

I don't think you should mention ADHD. I also have neurological issue, but don't feel that mentioning it is appropriate. 

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

Rather than addressing it in a "obstacle I had to overcome" section, I personally approached it by working it into my resume, "Licenses and Qualifications: Series 63, Vyvance 60mg, Series 79, Adderal IR, SIE." So far it seems to that being very strait-forward about it in my applications was respected, both Moelis and Jefferies would not have put me through accelerated hiring processes if it weren't, both seemed to have a lot of pride in building a culture that would accommodate my disability during the accelerated hiring process. 

 

So many people in finance have it. But its also stigmatized and many people that don't have it see people with ADHD as lazy or dumber (even though that's not necessarily the case by any means). I would avoid mentioning it.
