Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a psychiatric behavioral disorder usually observed in teens. The defining characteristics of ODD are aggressiveness and a tendency to purposefully bother-irritate others. Such a behavior can lead to significant difficulties at school and family.
Teenagers are especially vulnerable to ODD, that’s because teenage is when they start to assert their individuality. Things go out of hand when ODD symptoms become profound and start to exert an unwanted influence on day-to-day activities.

Why does ODD occur?

Although the exact genesis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder is relatively unknown but two theories have been propounded for the same

Developmental Theory

According to the developmental theory ODD occurs due to incomplete development. ODD children never complete or find it difficult to complete developmental tasks that normal children master in their toddler years. As a result they get stuck in the 2-3 year old child’s defiant psyche and never really grow out of it.

Learning Theory

The learning theory considers Oppositional Defiant Disorder as a response to negative interactions. Having very strict parents and teachers lead to the emergence of ODD in such children.

Any child with symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder should also be evaluated for other associated disorders like ADHD, such an approach is the key to treating this condition effectively.
