Conduct Disorder (CD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by persistent
patterns of behaviour that violate societal norms, rules, and the rights of
others. Commonly diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, individuals with CD
often exhibit aggressive conduct, deceitfulness, theft, and a disregard for
rules and authority. Symptoms can range from bullying and physical fights to
cruelty to animals and property destruction.
The disorder may lead to significant impairment in social,
academic, and occupational functioning. Risk factors include a combination of
genetic, environmental, and psychosocial elements. If left untreated, CD can
evolve into more severe antisocial behaviours and increase the risk of
developing other mental health issues. Early intervention and a comprehensive
approach involving family, school, and mental health professionals are crucial
for managing and improving outcomes for individuals with Conduct Disorder.
Treatment modalities may include behavioural therapy, family therapy, and in
some cases, pharmacological interventions.
