heal.abstract	It is commonly supported in the case of developmental psychology that gradual changes occurring during several developmental stages follow the principle of ‘epigenesis’. According to this principle, new knowledge and behaviours are built upon previous cognitive and behavioural acquisitions and influence future developmental goals. Developmental psychopathology, which constitutes a branch of developmental psychology, is based on the suggestion that the manifestation f abnormal behaviour changes during lifetime as a result of the transactional nature of the relationship between biological and environmental factors. Therefore, the principle of ‘epigenesis’ may explain phenomena that concern the development of psychopathology as well. The aim of this paper it to explain and substantiate a perspective, according to which, comorbidity of mental disorders in a concept that may be better understood through the procedure of ‘epigenesis’ of problems. Based on a plethora of research and clinical data, we suggest that symptoms of different disorders do not simply coexist but are different manifestations of the same primary disorder and gradually differentiate as a result of the relationship between the symptoms of this primary disorder with the person’s experiences during development. This perspective is presented through the case of Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD), which usually coexists with speech and language disorders, conduct disorders, anxiety disorders, etc. The mechanism through which the symptoms of these theoretically different disorders are built upon each other is explained. To conclude, the importance of the understanding of ‘epigenesis’ for the diagnosis and the effective treatment of developmental disorders is highlighted.	en
