The ADHD Venn Diagrams:

This visual powerhouse series by Dr. Megan Anna Neff breaks down how ADHD overlaps—and often gets confused—with other diagnoses. Through 10+ beautifully designed Venn diagrams, each comparison helps ADHDers, clinicians, and loved ones understand the nuance behind common misdiagnoses.

You’ll explore overlaps and distinctions between ADHD and:

• Anxiety Disorders – why chronic worry and restlessness can mimic ADHD symptoms.

• Depression – how low motivation and time-blindness differ from anhedonia.

• OCD, Autism, PTSD, and BPD – where impulsivity, focus, and emotional intensity cross paths or diverge.

• Bipolar Disorder and Tourette’s – how cycles of hyperfocus and energy spikes can be misread.

• ODD and Alexithymia – understanding emotional regulation versus perceived defiance or emotional blindness.

• Plus: ADHD Subtypes (Inattentive, Hyperactive, Combined) explained in one clear visual overview.

Each chart includes hallmark traits, biological overlaps, and differentiators—helping you recognize patterns without pathologizing them. These diagrams make complex diagnostic distinctions accessible, empathetic, and visually engaging, helping you advocate for accurate understanding and affirming care.
