{{WS}}
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:
*[[Conduct disorder]]
*[[Oppositional defiant disorder]]
*Learning disorders


Disorders that present similarly to ADHD:
[[Category:Psychiatry]]
* [[Childhood bipolar disorder]]
[[Category:Pediatrics]]
* [[Childhood depression]]
*Normal response to a pathologic or abusive home
*Conduct disorder
*[[Physical abuse]] or neglect
*[[Neuroendocrine]] abnormality such as [[hyperthyroidism]]

Overview

ADHD must be differentiated from other diseases that cause behavioral issues and anxiety such as anxiety disorder, dissociative disorder, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder. ADHD must also be differentiated from the other psychiatric disorders with which it shares common genetic roots, including autism, bipolar disorder, major depression, and schizophrenia.[1]

Differential Diagnosis

ADHD must be differentiated from:[1][2]
