What Are the Treatments for Oppositional Defiant Disorder?
According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), “in children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), there is an ongoing pattern of uncooperative, defiant, and hostile behavior toward authority figures that seriously interferes with the youngster’s day to day functioning.” This disorder can cause extreme stress in a home environment, and parents should know that treatment involves support for both them and their child.
