Attention deficit disorder aggressive symptoms

FIGURE 10-5. Aggressive symptoms and hostility are associated with several conditions in addition to schizophrenia, including bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and conduct disorder (conduct dis.), childhood psychosis, Alzheimer s and other dementias, and borderline personality disorder, among others. 

Although aggressive symptoms are common in schizophrenia, they are far from unique to this condition. Thus, these same symptoms are frequently associated with bipolar disorder, childhood psychosis, borderline personality disorder, drug abuse, Alzheimer and other dementias, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorders in children, and many others (Fig. 10—5).
