Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is the disorder that is most frequently comorbid with ADHD among children and adolescents. ODD is characterized by negative, hostile, and defiant behavior towards authority figures, and it often co-occurs with ADHD. Conduct disorder, another disorder that involves aggression and violation of rules, can also commonly co-occur with ADHD. However, ODD is more prevalent in children with ADHD than conduct disorder. Reactive attachment disorder and panic disorder are less commonly comorbid with ADHD, and their symptoms are not as closely related to those of ADHD.
