ADHD must be differentiated from other diseases such as autism spectrum disorder, anxiety disorders, conduct disorder and childhood bipolar disorder.[1]

Differentiating Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder from Other Diseases

The differential for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is wide, as many of the symptoms overlap with the symptoms seen in other psychiatric illnesses. In addition, there may be comorbidity with other diseases such as seizure disorders and other disorders causing disruptive behavior. Learning disorders are also common in persons with ADHD. Common comorbid disorders include:




  • Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.[1]


  • Intermittent explosive disorder[1]



  • Learning disorders
  • Normal response to a pathologic or abusive home


  • Neurodevelopmental disorders[1]


  • Reactive attachment disorder[1]
  • Substance use disorders[1]
