Disruptive Behavior Disorders
摘要
Experiencing anger and frustration are normal feelings for an individual of any age to experience, and as children learn skills to manage these feelings, becoming argumentative and acting out may be expected. However, when these behaviors persist over time and become more severe, they may manifest into a disruptive behavior disorder. If left untreated, disruptive behavior disorders create long-term social and health effects and outcomes that impact interpersonal relationships and their communities [1]. These outcomes may include additional challenges such as mood or anxiety disorders, substance abuse, inability to maintain lasting relationships, dropping out of school, and increased involvement in the legal system.
