Why We Made This:
Many disorders sound alike or present with overlapping symptoms, making it easy to misdiagnose or confuse them — particularly when under exam pressure or in clinical settings. These charts were created to clearly map out the similarities and differences between commonly confused disorders, helping you avoid mistakes and build diagnostic confidence.
 
Learning Objectives:
Confidently differentiate between overlapping disorders such as panic disorder vs. agoraphobia, malingering vs. factitious disorder, and others.
Learn the hallmark symptoms, risk factors, and distinguishing features of a wide variety of mental health conditions.
Apply this knowledge to case examples and real-world scenarios to recognize subtle diagnostic differences effectively.
