Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a childhood disorder that involves problems with control of emotions and behavior.[1] It presents with a long term pattern of an irritable mood, defiant behavior, and vindictiveness towards others.[1][2] Complications may include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, conduct disorder, and substance misuse.[1]

The underlying cause is believed to involve genetic, environmental, and social factors.[1] It is believed that about half the risk for the condition is genetic.[1] Other risk factors include child abuse, poverty, and poor peer group.[1] Diagnosis is based on a discussion with the people who interact with the child.[1] A number of assessment tools may help in making the diagnosis.[1] ODD differs from conduct disorder in that the symptoms are less severe.[1]

Management may include parent training, school support, and cognitive behavioral therapy.[1] If this is not sufficiently effective antipsychotics may be used.[1] Associated condition may also require treatment.[1] Oppositional defiant disorder is estimated to affect 2 to 11% of people.[1] Males are more commonly affected than females.[1] Onset is usually around the start of school and it becomes less common with age.[1]
