Impulse-Control and Disruptive Behavior Disorders

These disorders involve significant difficulty controlling aggressive actions, impulses, and emotions, leading to behaviors that harm others and violate social norms. These conditions, classified as Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders (DICC), include conditions like Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD). Common symptoms are angry outbursts, arguing, property destruction, lying, and theft. Treatment often involves cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and, for children, holistic approaches like Multisystemic Therapy (MST).
