In this episode, Dr. Tish Taylor explores the many conditions that commonly co-occur with ADHD—and how to tell the difference. From oppositional behaviors and emotional outbursts to anxiety, depression, learning disorders, and even autism spectrum traits, ADHD rarely shows up alone. In fact, only about 20% of individuals diagnosed with ADHD have no additional diagnoses. So what does that mean for understanding symptoms, getting the right support, or seeking a full evaluation? Dr. Tish breaks down:
- The most common co-occurring diagnoses seen alongside ADHD
- How overlapping symptoms can make diagnosis confusing
- Why emotional dysregulation is a key area of concern
- What to look for when autism and ADHD traits appear together
- When to consider seeking a comprehensive evaluation
This episode is full of insight for parents, educators, clinicians, and anyone looking to better understand the complexities of ADHD and its connected conditions. 📬 Have questions or want to connect?
