Conduct disorder and Oppositional Defiant disorder
Oppositional defiant disorder
Oppositional Defiant disorder (ODD) is the term usually reserved for less severe, but equally persistent conduct problems in younger children. It describes behaviours such as aggression, defiance and disobedience rather than those that are severely antisocial or against the law. Children with ODD frequently defy adults, deliberately annoy people and seem angry and resentful. They may blame others for things that they themselves have done and will not take responsibility for their behaviour. They may be very provocative and rude, especially to those in authority.
