Betty Martin contacted her 13 year-old daughter’s teachers asking how she is doing in school
Lately, her daughter, Isabella, who up to this point had been characterized as the “ideal child,”
has now become defiant, oppositional, and vindictive. Mrs. Martin adds, “The father and I have
been separated for years but now Isabella threatens to leave and move into his apartment over the
least little thing. After all we’ve been through, that really hurts. When I challenge Isabella’s
behavior, it becomes all my fault. On top of all that, Isabella takes no responsibility for her
behavior. Needless to add, things are miserable here at home. I’ve also noticed her friends are
keeping their distance, too.” Given Mrs. Martin’s account, what diagnosis could be ruled out?
a) Oppositional defiant disorder
b) Major depressive disorder
