Deep dives
Co-Occurrence of Disruptive Behavior Disorders and ADHD
Disruptive behavior disorders like Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder often co-occur with ADHD, especially in the ADHD population. ODD, for instance, can be seen in about 50% of individuals with ADHD, while Conduct Disorder involves intentional rule-breaking and lack of empathy. Understanding these co-occurring disorders is crucial as even without a formal diagnosis, behaviors related to these disorders can manifest.
Characteristics of Disruptive Behavior Disorders
Disruptive behavior disorders such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder are characterized by behaviors like constant disagreement, arguing, and refusal to follow rules. Conduct Disorder manifests as intentional rule-breaking and lack of empathy towards others' feelings or property. Intermittent Explosive Disorder involves extreme emotional reactions to triggers, surpassing typical responses seen in others.
Effective Interventions and Support Systems
Interventions for disruptive behavior disorders include Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, behavioral therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Implementing interventions consistently and with integrity is crucial, emphasizing structured and predictable responses. Family therapy, individual therapy, and supports within school and community settings are essential components of a systematic approach to managing disruptive behaviors effectively.
Disruptive behavior disorders, especially oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, and intermittent explosive disorder, often co-occur with ADHD.
In this episode, Tish Taylor, PhD, explains how disruptive behavior disorders interact with ADHD. She also talks about interventions that are commonly used, gives tips for implementing them successfully, and shares helpful resources for parents of children or teens with an ADHD comorbidity.
