This invention is directed to embodiments of systems and methods to identify a subgroup of ADHD at higher risk for complicating conditions that, for example, may be of concern to an ADHD evaluation, may account for attention and behavior symptoms, and may lead a clinician to exclusion of ADHD from primary diagnosis. In one embodiment, a method for identifying a subgroup of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) patients at higher risk for complicating conditions is provided. The method can include receiving, from a user or clinician, evaluation data associated with a plurality of patients identified with ADHD as a primary diagnosis obtaining EEG data for each of the plurality of patients determining, based at least in part on the EEG data, an indicator of ADHD, wherein the indicator supports a positive or negative ADHD evaluation correlating the indicator with a users or clinicians evaluation data and based at least in part on the correlation, determining at least one subgroup of the plurality of patients, wherein the correlation provides positive support for diagnosis of ADHD or provides support for further testing for complicating conditions before proceeding with diagnosis of ADHD in at least one patient within the at least one subgroup.
