Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a condition that is generally diagnosed in childhood and can last throughout one’s lifetime. This condition may cause a person to challenge persons with authority, most commonly parents or teachers. Individuals with this condition may display purposeful behavior and aggression. Being defiant, argumentative, and hard to converse with are some of its most common signs. To address the symptoms, they may undergo therapy, social skills training to address behavioral issues, and medication to manage other underlying conditions. Parents will also undergo parent training and are taught behavior management strategies to help reduce their children’s misbehavior.
