CD Disorder is "Conduct Disorder".
CD Disorder also known as Conduct Disorder is a disorder that causes a group of repetitive and persistent behavioral and emotional problems in youngsters.
Children and adolescents with conduct disorder have great difficulty following rules, respecting the rights of others, showing empathy, and behaving in a socially acceptable way.
Conduct Disorder (CD) is diagnosed when children show an ongoing pattern of aggression toward others, and serious violations of rules and social norms at home, in school, and with peers.
These rule violations may involve breaking the law and result in arrest.
Symptoms of CD Disorder or "Conduct Disorder" include.
Not caring about social norms of good behavior.
Ignoring the rights and feelings of other people.
Enjoying causing harm, lying or manipulating people.
Committing physical or sexual violence.
Hurting animals.
Factors such as a dysfunctional family life, childhood abuse, traumatic experiences, a family history of substance abuse, and inconsistent discipline by parents may contribute to the development of conduct disorder.
The majority of children, about 70%, who do display symptoms of conduct disorder will grow out of it by adolescence.
The children that do not grow out of it and progress on to adolescence have a poorer prognosis than those with the adolescent-onset type.
Conduct disorder has two subtypes: childhood onset and adolescent onset.
Childhood conduct disorder, left untreated, has a poorer prognosis.
Behaviors that are typical of childhood conduct disorder include aggression, property destruction (deliberately breaking things, setting fires) and poor peer relationships.
