Behavioral disorder is most often treated through therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy treatment and sometimes some medications.

To deal with emotional and behavioral disorders you should take the child or get the person some therapy to help them mentally.

Also remain calm with the child or person but still discipline them.

Treatment for kids and people with emotional and behavioral disorders include talk therapy, mental health therapy, social skills training, family support services, psychotherapy and cognitive behavior therapy.

You can tell and know if your child has a behavioral disorder by looking for signs of behavioral disorder in your child.

The signs of behavioral disorders in children are.
Harming or threatening to hurt other people, pets or even themselves.
Feeling withdrawn or very sad for 2 weeks or more.
Intensive worries or fears which can impede daily activities.

The 6 types of emotional disturbance are psychotic disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, conduct disorders and bipolar disorders.

The people who can diagnose Oppositional Defiant Disorder are and adult or child psychiatrists or other qualified mental health expert.

The psychiatrist or mental health expert can diagnose the ODD or Oppositional Defiant Disorder by observing the child or person and learn about their behavior.

Oppositional defiant disorder cannot be cured although therapy can help the person cope with the oppositional defiant disorder.

Adults get ODD as a result of genetics and too much negative reinforcement parenting.

The person with ODD knows that the disruptive behavior is attention getting for them so they continue the pattern into adulthood to seek attention.

The age at which ODD tends to develop is by the age of 8 years old.

The symptoms of ODD usually remain stable between the ages of 5 to 10 years old and sometimes but not always decline after that.

The symptoms of ODD are most often apparent in multiple settings although it can be more noticeable at home or in school.

The difference between oppositional disorder and conduct disorder is in the role of control.

For example the kids who are oppositional or defiant will fight against being controlled.

Kids who have begun to move or have already moved into conduct disorder will fight not only against being controlled, but will attempt to control others as well.

The causes of childhood conduct disorder are genetics as well as biological factors, social problems and traumatic experiences.

Even kids with autism and social anxiety can develop conduct disorder.

You are born with conduct disorder as you usually get conduct disorder through genetics which can be passed down through genes from the mother or father.

Usually, the disruptive behaviors of conduct stop during early adulthood, but in about one-third of cases, they continue. Many of these cases meet the criteria for antisocial personality 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.
