Disruptive Behavior Disorders

Disruptive Behavior Disorders are a group of conditions characterized by ongoing, intense behavioral issues that interfere with daily life and relationships. Examples include Oppositional Defiant Disorder (frequent defiance and anger) and Conduct Disorder (aggressive or rule-breaking actions). These disorders often stem from a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors, and can affect children, adolescents, or adults. Treatment typically involves therapy and, in some cases, medication to help manage behaviors, improve social skills, and address underlying emotional issues. Early intervention can significantly improve outcomes and help individuals develop healthier coping strategies.
