How many people had chronic fatigue, ADHD, anxiety, depression

Probably tons but there wasn't any ability or purpose to diagnose the issues without any type of available treatment. Plenty of old stories out there involving hyperactive kids, overly nervous or gloomy adults, etc.

The answer is massively lower than today, do you think its just the cancer rate that has gone through the roof?

The autism rate was 1 in 10,000, diseases like diverticulitis was unheard of until the turn of the century and it was in extremely old people, now 20 to 30 year olds are getting it and know now's why.

There is zero data to support your 'probably tons' and the excuse they I just didn't bother' is retardedly stupid.

Hyper active kids are very different from ASD or ADHD kids, you are just hand waving it away.

You've fallen for the ASD kids are just nerds meme which is wrong.

No, I'm saying that people weren't diagnosed with ADHD at the turn of the century because it literally had not been discovered. Some people just had kids that were more hyperactive or less focused than others, and that's just the way it was until it was discovered to be a clinical condition. Just like anxiety, depression, etc.

I'm not handwaving anything away, brain science wasn't much of a thing before vaccines were a thing, and you're just deciding that correlation equals causation, because they happened to have massive advances in brain study post-vaccine era. Tons of people probably had autism too, but they weren't diagnosed with a specific mental disorder, they were just institutionalized or exterminated with the rest of the generally mentally handicapped.
