I'm not entirely certain but probably in medical terms, something like "secondary anxiety". Secondary in this case is referring to the cause of the symptoms; that is, it is "indirect" anxiety caused by ADHD, rather than a "primary anxiety" caused by something like GAD. Differentiating the underlying cause is important for treatment strategies.
