Children were assessed on Kiddieschedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia - present and lifetime versionand thendiagnosed as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) or hyperkinetic disorder(HKD) as per DSM IV or ICD-10 DCR criteria. Comorbidities were diagnosed as perDSM IV criteria. Severity of symptoms was rated using Hillside Behavior Rating Scale(HBRS)while global assessment of functioning was assessed on Children's Globalassessment Scale(CGAS). Results: All could be diagnosed with ADHD however, only 44 (71%) could bediagnosed as HKD. There was no statistically significant difference in mostsociodemographic variables, severity of illness on HBRS and impairment on CGAS ofthe subjects diagnosed with ADHD and HKD and subjects with ADHD but not HKD(non-HKD-ADHD).Conclusions: DSM IV should be used because it diagnoses more children with impairingsymptoms of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity as compared to ICD-10 DCR.Also, there is a significant overlap in between ADHD and HKD
