How do you decided what to diagnose a patient with for example schizoaffective disorder vs ADHD vs Anxiety Disorder vs Autism Spectrum Disorders when there is quite a number of systems similar to each of the conditions. Is it a matter of which one ticks the most boxes, which one suits the current prevalent symptoms or do you go with comorbidity? I am interested as I have had diagnoses in the past starting with schizophrenia then bipolar then discussions about autism spectrum and so forth. I am aware also that this is more of a generalization as opposed to looking at a specific patient.
