What if you could demystify the complex behaviors of your child? What if you could distinguish between the symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder, two disorders often seen in childhood? We, your hosts, Dr. Linton Hutchinson and Stacy Frost, attempt to shed light on these difficult disorders, especially for those preparing for licensing exams. We discuss the key symptoms of ODD, such as anger, irritability, and a defiant attitude that extends far beyond the typical. We explore the vindictiveness in ODD, manifested by an obsessive, disproportionate desire for revenge.
Have you noticed your child showing aggressive behavior, property destruction, or continuously breaking rules? It's time to understand Conduct Disorder better. Our conversation in the second half of the episode aims to provide you with the differentiating factors between ODD and Conduct Disorder. While ODD is characterized by resistance against control, Conduct Disorder is marked by attempts to control others. We comprehend that as a parent, these behaviors can induce frustration, discouragement, and even fear. Our objective is to provide clarity, help you navigate these challenges, and empower you with the knowledge to understand these disorders better.
