Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a behavioural disorder
characterized by a persistent pattern of anger, defiance, and hostility towards
authority figures. Children and adolescents with ODD often display temper
tantrums, argumentativeness, and a tendency to deliberately annoy others. These
behaviours typically interfere with daily functioning, both at home and in
school settings. The exact cause of ODD is not fully understood, but it is
believed to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological
factors. Effective treatment usually involves a combination of therapy, such as
cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and parent training, aimed at improving
communication skills, teaching problem-solving techniques, and managing
emotions. Early intervention is crucial in addressing ODD to prevent further
challenges in social and academic settings.
