Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a diagnosis given to children who display a pattern of negative and defiant behavior to parents, teachers and others who have authority over them. Many children disobey their parents or teachers from time to time. In fact, oppositional behavior is very common in pre-school children and teenagers. It's important that we don't mislabel these normal "phases" of childhood as signs of a behavioral disorder. Children with ODD have frequent run-ins with authority figures and are oppositional far more often than other children their age. Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ODD than girls, especially before puberty. Children typically begin to show signs of ODD before age 8 and no later than 13-15. While mental health professionals are very cautious with diagnosing ODD before the school-aged years, many children with ODD had "difficult" temperaments as toddlers. They were often fussy, argumentative, and likely to throw temper tantrums even as very young children. The following is a list of signs that may suggest that a child has ODD (APA, 1994). Be careful, as mentioned earlier, many children are oppositional from time to time. Children with ODD really stand out from other kids due to their poor behavior. Also, this pattern of behavior must have been going on for at least 6 months before the diagnosis of ODD can be considered.

Oppositional defiant disorder My son's had behavioural problems since he could breathe. I've been to various doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists without any luck. But I haven't given up. I've searched the web and think my son suffers with the conduct disorder of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), but how do I go about getting him the right treatment? I've heard Ritalin could help him but I don't know where to start. Alyson Dr Trisha Macnair responds Your priority must be to get an accurate diagnosis made by an expert in child psychiatry. Until you have this there's no point thinking too much about treatment because you need to know what's appropriate to your son's condition. If your son does have ODD he'll need specialist psychiatric help and advice with regard to schooling. Treatment may include stimulant medication such as Ritalin, but this will depend on several factors such as the specific nature of his problem, the treatment approach taken by his specialists, and whether there's an element of attention deficit disorder (ADD and ODD often co-exist and it's usually the ADD element of the problem that responds to stimulants). Treatment also includes behavioural and other psychological therapies, non-stimulant medications and special diets.

Home Keyword Search Article Title Author's Name ArticleCity.com was featured on: Oppositional Defiant Disorder by: Anthony Kane, MD Introduction Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a psychiatric behavior disorder that is characterized by aggressiveness and a tendency to purposefully bother and irritate others. These behaviors cause significant difficulties with family and friends and at school or work. Oppositional defiant disorder is sometimes a precursor of conduct disorder. Much of the literature tends to lump these two conditions together. However, they seem to be distinct entities and, although conduct disorder does have a genetic component, ODD does not. Description Oppositional defiant children show a consistent pattern of refusing to follow commands or requests by adults. These children repeatedly lose their temper, argue with adults, and refuse to comply with rules and directions. They are easily annoyed and blame others for their mistakes. Children with ODD show a pattern of stubbornness and frequently test limits, even in early childhood. These children can be manipulative and often induce discord in those around them. Commonly they can incite parents and other family members to fight with one and other rather than focus on the child, who is the source of the problem.

You are here: Home Health Information Health Topics Mental Health Disorders Oppositional Defiant Disorder What is Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)? Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a behavior disorder, usually diagnosed in childhood, that is characterized by uncooperative, defiant, negativistic, irritable, and annoying behaviors toward parents, peers, teachers, and other authority figures. Children and adolescents with ODD are more distressing or troubling to others than they are distressed or troubled themselves. What Causes Oppositional Defiant Disorder? While the cause of ODD is not known, there are two primary theories offered to explain the development of ODD. A developmental theory suggests that the problems begin when children are toddlers. Children and adolescents who develop ODD may have had a difficult time learning to separate from their primary attachment figure and developing autonomous skills. The bad attitudes characteristic of ODD are viewed as a continuation of the normal developmental issues that were not adequately resolved during the toddler years.
