Question 1

what does an oppositional defiant disorder person look like?

Accepted Answer

Oppositional  looks: They look like everyone else. There is no physical characteristic that is different.

Question 2

three effects of oppositional defiant disorder on other people?

Accepted Answer

Effects of ODD: I am not sure this has been researched systematicly. So I am not sure there are just three. But oppostional people turn off their neighbors family and coworkers. They do not get promoted. They may get fired. They do not get invitations to parties and social events.

Question 3

what age is oppositional defiant disorder diagnosed in children?

Accepted Answer

Almost any age: Odd is typically more common among teenagers but can be diagnosed in school aged children.  There is no age criteria for the diagnosis but diagnosing a toddler with odd would likely be inappropriate.  Once a child understands what adults are looking for and intentionally engages in behavior that defies authority figures (this goes beyond parental defiance) then the child might be odd.

Question 4

how do you know if your child has oppositional defiant disorder?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: When a child seems to have problems with authority all the time, this diagnosis is a possibility. It often is found in kids with add/adhd as well. The best way is to have him evaluated by a psychologist. Their testing can clarify and diagnose this.

Question 5

is oppositional defiant disorder due to bad parenting?

Accepted Answer

No: Oppositional defiant disorder is associated with genetic and environmental factors which can include family stress, lack of supervision, trauma, and more recently chemical imbalance in the brain.  It appears that many factors contribute and none are clearly causal.  Treatment is best accomplished with a plan that involves parents as part of the therapeutic team.  They should not feel guilt

Question 6

how can i get my son help for oppositional defiant disorder?

Accepted Answer

Can Be Difficult: This usually requires a therapy or counseling setting in which your son will see someone individually, and then there would be additional family sessions with either the same therapist or a different therapist. Non-medication therapies are usually the treatment of choice. Occasionally, medications will be used if the person with odd has particularly severe temper outbursts.

Question 8

what is the definition or description of: oppositional defiant disorder?

Accepted Answer

Negative and defiant: The primary symptoms of odd include angry outbursts, deliberately annoying others, irritability, arguing with authority figures, blaming, and refusing to follow rules and expectations.

Question 9

tell me more about oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder?

Accepted Answer

A bad kid!: At the least, this might have been what folk would call him/her. Odd has to last awhile and is about the very negative attitude held and expressed by the person.
