Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, similar to hyperkinetic disorder in the ICD-10) is a neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorder in which there are significant problems with executive functions (e.g., attentional control and inhibitory control) that cause attention deficits, hyperactivity, or impulsiveness which is not appropriate for a person's age.
ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
ADHD is the most common neurobehavioral
disorder of childhood. It is characterized by developmentally inappropriate and impairing levels of gross motor over activity, inattention and

Conduct disorder is a disorder of
childhood and adolescence that involves long-term (chronic) behavior problems,
such as:
Defiant or impulsive behavior
Drug use
Criminal activity
Children with conduct disorder may go on to
develop personality disorders as adults, particularly antisocial personality disorder. As their behaviors worsen, these individuals may
also develop drug and legal problems.
Depression and bipolar disorder may develop
in adolescence and early adulthood. Suicide and violence toward others are also
possible complications of this disorder.
2. DIAGNOSIS
The essential feature of conduct disorder is a
repetitive and persistent pattern of conduct in
which either the basic rights of others or major
age-appropriate societal norms or rules are
violated.
The conduct is more serious than the ordinary
mischief and pranks of children and adolescents.
3. EPIDEMIOLOGY
Conduct disorder is fairly common during
childhood and adolescence. It is estimated that
approximately 9 percent of boys and 2 percent of
girls under the age of 18 years have the disorder.
The disorder is more common among boys than
among girls and the ratio ranges from 4 to 1 to 12
to 1.
Conduct disorder is more common in children of
parents with antisocial personality and alcohol
dependence than it is in the general population.
The prevalence of conduct disorder and antisocial
behavior is significantly related to socioeconomic
factors.
4. ETIOLOGY
No
single factor can account for
children’s antisocial behavior and
conduct disorder.
Rather,
a variety of bio-psychosocial
factors contribute to their development.
5. PARENTAL FACTORS
It has long been recognized that some parental
attitudes and faulty child-rearing practices
influence the development of children’s
maladaptive behaviors.
Chaotic home conditions are associated with
conduct disorder and delinquency. However,
broken homes per se are not causatively
significant it is the strife between the parents
that contributes to conduct disorder.
Parental psychopathology, child abuse and
negligence often contribute to conduct disorder.
6. Sociopathy,
alcoholism and substance
abuse in parents are associated with
conduct disorder in their children.
Recent studies suggest that many parents
of conduct disorder children suffer from
serious psychopathology, including
psychoses.
Psychodynamic hypotheses suggest that
children with conduct disorder
unconsciously act out their parents
antisocial wishes.
7. SOCIOCULTURAL FACTORS
Current
theories
suggest
that
socioeconomically
deprived
children,
unable to achieve status and obtain
material goods through legitimate routes,
are forced to resort to socially
unacceptable means to reach those goals
and that such behavior is normal and
acceptable
under
circumstances
of
socioeconomic deprivation, as the children
are adhering to the values of their own
subculture.
8. PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS
Children brought up in chaotic, negligent
conditions generally become angry, disruptive,
demanding and unable to progressively develop
the tolerance for frustration necessary for mature
relationships.
As their role models are poor and often
frequently changing, the basis for developing
both an ego-ideal and a conscience is lacking.
The children are left with little motivation to
follow societal norms and are relatively
remorseless.
10. OTHER FACTORS
ADHD, central nervous system (CNS)
dysfunction or damage and early extremes of
temperament can predispose a child to conduct
disorder.
Propensity to violence correlates with CNS
dysfunction and signs of severe psychopathology,
such as paranoid tendencies.
Longitudinal temperament studies suggest that
many behavioral deviations are initially a
straightforward response to a poor fit between,
on the one hand, a child’s temperament and
emotional needs and on the other hand, parental
attitudes and child-rearing practices.

12. CLINICAL FEATURES
Children
with the solitary aggressive type of
conduct disorder commit solitary, rather than
group acts of aggression.
The aggressive antisocial behavior may take
the form of bullying, physical aggression and
cruel behavior toward peers.
The children may be hostile, verbally
abusive, impudent, defiant and negativistic
toward adults.
Persistent lying, frequent truancy and
vandalism are common. In severe cases there
is often destructiveness, stealing and
physical violence.
13. TREATMENT
Multimodality treatment is often necessary and can
include individual psychotherapy, family therapy,
special schooling, Pharmacotherapy, homemaking
services and residential placement.
Treatment is difficult, given the child’s and the
family’s pathology. Both the child and the family can
undermine therapy and frequently the conductdisordered child proceeds to delinquency in
adolescence and to antisocial behavior in adulthood.
Medications are generally used in the conductdisordered child to quell aggressive, Assaultive
behavior. Once under control the child may be able to
learn more in school and may be more amenable to
psychotherapy.
14.
15. CLINICAL FEATURES
The DSM-III-R criteria for the group type of conduct
disorder list the predominant feature as conduct
problems occurring mainly as a group activity in the
company of friends who have similar problems and to
whom the child is loyal.
Physical aggression may be included in this condition.
The group antisocial behavior invariably occurs
outside the home. It includes repeated truancy,
vandalism and serious physical aggression or assault
against others, such as mugging, gang fighting and
beating.
The important and constant dynamic features in this
condition are the significant influence of the peer
group on such youngsters’ behavior and their extreme
dependency needs to maintain membership in the
gang.
16. COURSE AND PROGNOSIS
Very few youngsters with the group type of
conduct disorder remain delinquent beyond
adolescence; they may even given it up during
adolescence.
They may relinquish their delinquent behavior in
response to fortuitous positive happenings, such
as academic or athletic success, romantic
attachment and role modeling of an interested
adult.
Other youngsters may be dissuaded from the
repetitive pattern through the unpleasantness of
arrest and appearance in juvenile court. Such
occurrences may also awaken the family to their
responsibilities toward the child.
17. TREATMENT
Traditional individual psychotherapy alone has
proved to be relatively ineffective, party because
of adolescent’s common resistance to this type of
therapy.
Some delinquent youngsters respond better to
the accepting, permissive, and dynamically
oriented counseling approach.
The relatively high success rate in treating
delinquent youngsters with the group oriented
approach is explained by the group conduct
disordered youngsters natural tendency to turn
to peers for advice and emotional support.
18. Occasionally, such youngsters need to be
separated from their previous peer group and to
be transplanted to an entirely new environment,
as in training schools, Outward Bound and
therapeutic camping programs.
Therapeutic optimism is very much warranted in
this group of youngsters. Any approach that
alters the attitudes of the entire group or that
separates the youngsters from their delinquent
peer group and offers them contact with strong
adult leaders and less delinquent peer is likely to
improve the group’s antisocial or criminal
behavior.
