How would you make the distinction between oppositional defiant disorder and conduct

disorder?



What will be an ideal response?


Suggested response:
? Symptoms of significant emotional dysregulation are seen in oppositional
defiant disorder and not in conduct disorder;
? Individuals with oppositional defiant disorder do not typically display
significant aggression toward people or animals nor do they typically destroy
property, steal, or lie;
? However, keep in mind that if criteria are met for both disorders then the
individual may receive both diagnoses.
