Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a behavior disorder characterized by uncooperative, defiant, and hostile behavior towards authority figures, such as parents, teachers, and other adults. This behavior affects a child’s social, family, and academic life, and can include frequent temper tantrums, excessive argument, questioning rules, active defiance, and refusal to comply with adult requests. Children with ODD may also be irritable, easily annoyed, and blame others for their mistakes. The causes of ODD are not fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of biological, genetic, and environmental factors. Treatment options include therapy, medication, and parent training. Talktoangel is an online counseling platform that offers evidence-based therapy for children and adolescents with ODD.
