Description

Conduct disorder is a mental condition involving teenagers who violate basic rights. The disorder can be exhibited at school, home, or in other settings, and there are possible causal factors, including genetic, other disorders, brain damage, and environmental effects. Among the topics studied are examples of teens that are at higher risk for having the disorder, the typical symptoms and evaluations of the disorder, teens’ mental and physical states, individual and family therapy programs, and situations where multiple diagnoses are a factor. This approachable text helps teens understand conduct disorder and the critical issues that affect them.
