ODD: behavioural perspectives and their association with ADHD and CT

Abstract

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is characterized by impulse and conduct control disorders and aggressive behavior. It is often associated with other disorders, especially conduct disorder (CT) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This is an integrative review of medical literature of a qualitative nature, which aims to present what are the perspectives for a patient with OCD and its main associations: CT and ADHD. These psychopathologies directly influence the personal and professional relationships of individuals and are associated with a greater propensity to aggression, crime and theft when not controlled. Therefore, it is essential to diagnose these disorders and promote the necessary interventions.
