   oppositional defiance disorder (ODD)

Oppositional Defiance Disorder is a childhood disorder that typically is diagnosed before the age of 8. It is more prominent in boys than girls, and approximately 2-16% of children have oppositional defiance disorder.
 

Behaviors include:
  • Low or inflated self-esteem                                 
  • Swearing
  • Arguing or being in conflict with adults
  • Aggression
  • Disobeying rules or laws
  • Disregard for other's feelings
  • Bullying
  • Being disruptive
  • Cruelty to animals
  • Low frustration level

 

Many children with the diagnosis of oppositional defiance disorder get involved with drugs and alcohol at an early age as well.

Oppositional Defiance Disorder, if left untreated, has approximately an 80% chance of turning into Conduct Disorder as the child ages. Typically, children with ODD have at least one parent with a history of either conduct disorder, oppositional defiance disorder, antisocial personality disorder, mood disorder, or attention deficit disorder.
