Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a behavioral disorder that manifests as a pattern of uncooperative, defiant, and hostile behavior towards authority figures. Children with ODD often exhibit persistent anger, irritability, and argumentative behavior, leading to conflicts at home and school. 

Effective treatment for ODD includes behavioral therapy and family interventions to improve communication and conflict resolution skills. If your child exhibits signs of ODD, early intervention can help them develop healthier behavior patterns and improve their relationships with others.
