Conduct Disorder (CD)

Conduct Disorder (CD) is a mental health condition typically diagnosed in children and adolescents, characterized by a pattern of behavior that violates the rights of others or societal norms. This can include aggressive actions, deceitfulness, property destruction, and serious rule violations. Children with CD may exhibit irritability, defiance, and a lack of empathy. The disorder can disrupt relationships and academic performance, and if untreated, may lead to ongoing issues in adulthood. Early intervention through therapy and support can help manage symptoms and improve outcomes.
