The Effects of Conduct Disorder on Your Son
We can treat your son if he’s struggling with Conduct Disorder, a condition of recurring and persistent violations of social norms and the rights of others. Does he display physical or verbal antagonism, bullying people and pets, dishonesty, truancy, destructive behavior or thievery? The term refers to the distinction between a boy’s “typical” acting out and major misbehavior.
How We Can Treat Your Son’s Conduct Disorder at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch
If he doesn’t get help, your boy might find himself in trouble with school or legal authorities. He might be found responsible for behavioral actions that he is unable to control.
Treatment primarily centers on altering behavior patterns that bolster bad behavior. Unlike other disorders, Conduct Disorder therapy can typically include the parents as well as the child. There is no one distinctly acceptable resolution to Conduct Disorder, but many programs include training parents to more effectively discipline and reward good behavior in an attempt to end the cycle of bad actions leading to more bad actions.
Conduct Disorder is thought to be a possible precursor to Antisocial Personality Disorder. Studies have indicated a preliminary link between different brain functions and lowered levels of compassion shown by those experiencing conduct disorders.
