Other Specified Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Subjects who have symptoms of ADHD that significantly impair their social and occupational lives are considered to have "other specified attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder" when the presentation does not meet the full diagnostic criteria of ADHD or any other neurodevelopmental disorder, and the physician specifies the reason why the diagnostic criteria are not met.[1]
Unspecified Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Subjects who have symptoms of ADHD that significantly impair their social and occupational lives are considered to have "unspecified attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder" when the presentation does not meet the full diagnostic criteria of ADHD or any other neurodevelopmental disorder, and the physician does not specify the reason why the diagnostic criteria are not met.[1]
