Co-occurring diagnosis such as adhd, poor peer relationships, academic issues, dif culties in family relationships and parenting. Because all of the features of odd are present in a conduct disorder, odd is not diagnosed if the criteria are met for conduct disorder. Conduct disorder: repetitive, persistent pattern of severe aggressive and antisocial acts that involve in icting pain on others or interfering with rights of others via vandalism, aggression, or stealing. May have co-occuring problems such as adhd, academic de ciencies, and poor peer relations. Family child-rearing practices may contribute to problems and families often have their own stresses. Parents feel the children are out of control and that they are helpless to do anything about it. In conduct disorder, a repetitive and persistent pattern of behaviour occurs in which the basic rights of others and major age-inappropriate societal norms or rules are violated. These disruptions cause signi cant distress, impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning.
