Disruptive Behavior Disorder

Disruptive Behavior Disorder is a term used for certain behavioral conditions characterized by ongoing patterns of problematic behavior, such as aggression, defiance, or rule-breaking. These behaviors can interfere with a child's ability to function at school, home, or social environments. Common examples include Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder. The causes can involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Treatment often involves behavioral therapy, counseling, and sometimes medication to help manage behaviors and improve social skills. Early intervention is important to support healthy development and relationships.
