4. Behavioral disorders are classified
as a pattern of disruptive behaviors
in children that last for at least 6
months and cause problems in
school, at home and in social
situations. These disorders are
typically diagnosed and treated in
early childhood, but if left
untreated, they can affect one's
adult life making it difficult for him
to maintain healthy relationships,
regular employment, and other
functions of a typical adult.

controlling their emotions and behavior. Their behavior may
be very defiant and they may strongly conflict with authority
figures. Their actions may be aggressive and destructive. All
children have mild behavior problems now and then, but
DBDs are more severe and continue over time.

DBDs can start when a child is young. Children or teens
with a DBD who do not receive treatment often have serious
behavior problems at home, at school, or both. They are also
more likely to have problems with alcohol or drug use and
violent or criminal behavior as they get older.

It is generally believed that there is no single
root cause for disruptive behavior disorder.
However, these disorders are often regarded
to be the result of a combination of genetic,
physical, and environmental risk factors
acting together.

10. Disruptive behavior disorders are among
the easiest to identify of all coexisting
conditions because they involve behaviors
that are readily seen such as temper
tantrums, physical aggression such as
attacking other children, excessive
argumentativeness, stealing, and other
forms of defiance or resistance to authority.

ODD is a type of behavior disorder in which

their defiance by arguing, disobeying, or
talking back to their parents, teachers, or
other adults. When this behavior lasts longer
than 6 months and is more extreme than
what’s usual for the child's age, it may mean

condition that can affect children and
teenagers. Kids who have conduct disorder
