Abstract

Objective: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) disorder is a neuropsychiatric disorder that begins in early stages of life and has a lifelong effect. Previous studies have found that 50-70% of children and adolescents with ADHD have comorbid psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study is to identify comorbid psychiatric disorders in adolescents with ADHD and to compare the sociodemographic characteristics of ADHD cases with and without psychiatric comorbidity.
