Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD) Flashcards
What is normal part of development?
- Children age 2 to 3 experience terrible twos
- add to lessons during puberty
When does problematic behaviour become a serious concern?
When excessively uncooperative and hostile behaviour affects daily life
ODD
Oppositional defiance disorder
- ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behaviour towards authority figures
- A pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behaviour or vindictiveness lasting at least six months
Diagnostic criteria for ODD
At least for symptoms of the following
Angry/irritable mood
- Often lose his temper
- Is often touchy or easily annoyed
- Is often angry and resentful
Argumentative/defiant behavior
- Often argues with authority figures
- Often actively defies or if uses to comply with rules or with request from authority figures
- Often deliberately annoys others
- Often blames others for his/her mistakes or misbehaviour
Vindictiveness
1. Has been spiteful at least twice
Disturbance in behaviour causes distress in immediate or social life or has other negative impacts of functioning
-not during psychotic, substance use, depressive, or bipolar disorder
Severity of ODD
Mild: symptoms within only one setting
Moderate: symptoms are present in two settings
Severe: symptoms are present in three or more settings
ODD statistics
1 to 6% of population
AOO: by age 8 years, 13 years the latest
-Most children grow out of it, not clear if exist in adults
-More common amongst boys in early childhood, equal in boys and girls in school aged in preadolescence
Comorbidity of ODD
ADHD Mood disorders Personality disorders SUD Anxiety disorders
Higher risk to develop other disorders if earlier on set, especially if untreated
ODD versus conduct disorder
ODD:
- less severe chronic miss behavior
- has earlier on set
- does not involve aggressivity towards other people or animals
- does not involve destruction of property
- does not involve pattern of theft and deceit
Psychological dimension of ODD
Difficult temperament:
Negative affect
Lower adaptability
Increase surgency
Decreased level of persistence
Low agreeableness
ODD study summary
Aim: examine the association of interpretive understanding (ability to describe a piece of familiar drawing from the dogs perspective) and sympathy (Feel sorry about others being picked on/teased)with ODD symptoms
Children aged 4 to 8
-self report and caregivers report
Those with low interpretive understanding are moderate on the ODD scale
- those with high IU hi on ODD scale if a little sympathy, but low on ODD scale if high sympathy
Sympathy moderates the effects of IU on ODD
Genetic basis of ODD
40-60% heredible from twin studies
- higher risk if 1st degree relative has behavioural disorders of SUD
Genotypes in question mixed:
- Serotonin transporter gene: ODD, AGG behaviour
- Dopamine receptor gene: ODD, conduct problems
But genome wide study found no sig association between genes and ODD sympt.
Epigenetic effects of ODD
Higher global DNA methylation associated with headstrong, but not irritable aspects common in ODD and ADHD
Exposure to neurotoxins and ODD
nicotine and paracetamol effect ODD
Neuro volume and ODD
lower volume and amygdala, striatum and PFC
Structural brain imaging study and ODD
MRI in 11-17 year old boys
- group 1: ADHD
- group 2: ADHD, ODD, CD
- group 3: typical development
Group one had thicker cortex in some areas
