What is Oppositional Defiant Disorder? Oppositional Defiant Disorder is a pattern of uncooperative, defiant and hostile behavior toward authority figures that significantly impacts a child’s ability to function, according to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP).2 All children display problematic behavior from time to time, but when that behavior becomes severe, persistent and interferes with their ability to be successful in school or in relationships with peers, a diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder may be explored. Behaviors associated with ODD fall into three main buckets: anger and irritability argumentative and defensive behavior vindictiveness Oppositional Defiant Disorder in children is not rare. It’s estimated that between 2 to 16 percent of children and teens have the disorder, which leaves many families searching for the best ODD treatment options. If your child’s issues are severe and seem uncommon for their age, you may be searching for answers and help with these behavior problems. A comprehensive evaluation with your child’s healthcare provider may also uncover symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Oppositional Defiant Disorder in Children Behavioral issues in children can lead to stress and frustration for the entire family. In young children, these issues may not yet be categorized as a specific diagnosis, but a child with significant behavioral issues may exhibit signs of: Anxiety Having frequent and severe tantrums Manipulative behavior Repetitive defiance towards those in authority.2 Often these children are labeled by teachers, peers, and parents as disruptive, frustrating, mean, or even “bad.” What are the Typical Options for Oppositional Defiant Disorder Treatment? Oppositional Defiant Disorder treatment often includes both therapy, as well as training for both the child and parents. Oppositional Defiant Disorder strategies for parents include building on the positives, giving your child positive reinforcement and picking your battles.3 Brain Balance Can Help Children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder We know that the brain can change in a way that may lead to improvements in symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder in children.
