Abstract
Diagnostic overshadowing occurs due to clinician bias, which is influenced by the salience of more obvious patient characteristics, leading to overlooked diagnoses. The complexity of diagnosing Attention Deficit Disorder / Hyperactivity arises from the potential overlap or association of ADHD symptoms with various medical, neurodevelopmental, and psychosocial issues. We shared a case report derived from our clinical experience and we will analyze the diagnostic overshadowing in children with ADHD using a psychopathological approach. Achieving accurate diagnoses for childhood mental health disorders is essential, as misdiagnosis has been linked to detrimental impacts on children's functioning.
