No; Vyvanse contains lisdextafetamine which is a prodrug of dextroamphetamine. Amphetamines will cause a "good response" or increased feelings of well-being and focus in almost all individuals who consume it. It does not indicate that you have ADHD. Vyvanse is addictive and should be used cautiously, as it is a scheduled II drug that caries penalties for consumption without a prescription.
i take vyvanse and the focus is good but it comes with its side effects negatives- less social less apetite(good if you are fat) dry mouth

There's a really good book called Moms with ADD: A Self-Help Manual By Christine A. Adamec. It's more for the mom that has ADD/ADHD and helps if you have a child with it too. A great book on helping you understand your own struggles and set a good example for your kids to work through theirs. I especially appreciate how the author explains how ADD/ADHD can be something you use to your advantage. This is more for an adult but it's a good resource for a parent.

Ritalin, Adderal
There have been some links between ADHD and nutrition. Some studies have indicated that a poor diet can worsen ADHD symptoms and a good diet can improve them.
Ritalin is a good supplement for ADHD. It is actually effective. Also, recent studies are showing that a healthy diet can also help control ADHD symptoms.
It is thought eating foods that are good for overall brain health and function can be beneficial for ADHD symptoms. Eating high protein foods (beans, meat, eggs, etc.), foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (tuna, salmon, walnuts, olive oil, etc.) are all known to improve brain function and overall concentration. A diet consisting of these foods may help with adult ADHD.
