ODD | ADHD Information

Yes, but in adults they call it antisocial personality disorder.Could you provide me some links to learn about, couse anything I find is related to children

I find that is more similar to CD couse of violent and criminal attends

but I need diagnose for those symptom (ODD)at adult person

Losing one’s temper

Deliberately annoying other people
Blaming others for one's own mistakes or misbehavior
Being touchy, easily annoyed
Being easily angered, resentful, spiteful, or vindictive.
Speaking harshly, or unkind when upset
Seeking revenge
Having frequent temper tantrums

 

Can adult have ODD?WE SPANK FOR THIS ATTITUDE. NO CHILD TELLS US WHAT THEY WILL DO. USE TO PARENTS WOULD SAY GET OUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE RULES AND LIVE ELSE WHERE.  

I found this one - it says ODD is used when over 18 and doesn't meet the full criteria for antisocial personality disorder.

Actually, I didn't learn about ODD, CD, antisocial personality disorder online.  I learned about it at work.  One of the pdocs I work with explained it like this...

These disorders fall on a spectrum.  Children are diagnosed with ODD, and conduct disorders because their personalities are not fully developed.  Once they reach adulthood, personality characteristics don't change much.  At that point the adult is diagnosed with a true personality disorder based on the personality characteristics that became more or less permanent.

Long complicated explanation for "wait and see" huh?  What I get for asking.  Wish I could be more helpful.  I learn just enough to be dangerous. *grin*

It is helpful Reisa

I used to think thats just his personality to behave like in previous post, but after  I make some research about ADHD /dd dx/ I found that he behaves like he has ODD - but couse he is over 30 years old I was confused,

thanks
