As the individual symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder are common, and are seen in many psychiatric disorders, the differential is wide. In addition, there are many comorbid psychiatric conditions that occur with ADHD.
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]].<ref name="#8">Cross-Disorder Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium.

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:
*[[Anxiety disorders]]
*[[Autism spectrum disorder]]
* Childhood [[bipolar disorder]]
* Childhood [[bipolar disorder]]
* Childhood [[depression]]
* Childhood [[depression]]
*Normal response to a pathologic or abusive home
*[[Conduct disorder]]
*[[Conduct disorder]]
*[[Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder]]
*[[Intellectual disability]]
*[[Intermittent explosive disorder]]
*[[Learning disorder]]
*[[Neurodevelopmental disorders]] (e.g., [[autism]])
*[[Neuroendocrine]] abnormality (e.g., [[hyperthyroidism]])
*[[Oppositional defiant disorder]]
*[[Physical abuse]] or neglect

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]
