Oppositional Defiant Disorder Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a type of behavior disorder. It is mostly diagnosed in childhood. Children with ODD are uncooperative, defiant, and hostile toward peers, parents, teachers, and other authority figures. They are more troubling to others than they are to themselves.
Most symptoms seen in children and teens with ODD also happen at times in other children without it. This is especially true for children around ages 2 or 3, or during the teen years. Many children tend to disobey, argue with parents, or defy authority. They may often behave this way when they are tired, hungry, or upset. But in children and teens with ODD, these symptoms happen more often. They also interfere with learning and school adjustment. And in some cases, they disrupt the child’s relationships with others.
DSM-V Criteria A. A pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness lasting at least 6 months as evidenced by at least four symptoms of the following categories, and exhibited during interaction with at least one individual who is not a sibling: Angry/Irritable Mood 1. Often loses temper 2.Is often touchy or easily annoyed 3. Is often angry and resentful
Argumentative/Defiant Behavior 4. Often argues with authority figures or, for children and adolescents, with adults 5. Often actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules 6. Often deliberately annoys others 7. Often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior Vindictiveness 8. Has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past 6 months.
Symptoms Having frequent temper tantrums Arguing a lot with adults Refusing to do what an adult asks Always questioning rules and refusing to follow rules Being easily annoyed by others Often having an angry attitude Speaking harshly or unkindly Seeking revenge or being vindictive
Two major Explanations Developmental theory. This theory suggests that the problems start when children are toddlers. Children and teens with ODD may have had trouble learning to become independent from a parent or other main person to whom they were emotionally attached. Their behavior may be normal developmental issues that are lasting beyond the toddler years. Learning theory. This theory suggests that the negative symptoms of ODD are learned attitudes. They mirror the effects of negative reinforcement methods used by parents and others in power. The use of negative reinforcement increases the child’s ODD behaviors. That’s because these behaviors allow the child to get what he or she wants: attention and reaction from parents or others.
Management Cognitive-behavioral therapy. A child learns to better solve problems and communicate. He or she also learns how to control impulses and anger. Family therapy. This therapy helps make changes in the family. It improves communication skills and family interactions. Having a child with ODD can be very hard for parents. It can also cause problems for siblings. Parents and siblings need support and understanding. Peer group therapy. A child develops better social and interpersonal skills.
