Study Notes
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
- Pattern of irritability, defiant behaviors, and vindictiveness that results in disturbed functioning in academic and social domains.
- Children and adolescents with ODD typically have difficulty controlling their temper, with anger often directed at authority figures.
Diagnosis and Assessment
- Distinguish behavior within normal limits from symptomatic behavior.
- Consider frequency and intensity of disruptive outbursts, as well as distress associated with those in social context (family, peer group, work colleagues).
- Evidence-based tools, such as Vanderbilt and Connor Rating Scale for ADD, include items that screen for ODD and have specific rating scales for parents and teachers.
Treatment and Management
- Behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are individually designed to meet the needs of the child.
- Techniques include family therapy, anger management, and collaborative problem-solving.
- Multidisciplinary and multimodal approach may be necessary, including psychosocial interventions and occasionally medication.
- Parent management training focuses on effective disciplining and age-appropriate supervision to increase support for positive social behavior.
Treatment Programs
- Collaborative Problem Solving and Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment (COPE) are evidence-based treatment programs for teens with ODD.
- Recommended parent management training programs include Triple P, The Incredible Years, and The REACH Institute.
Medication
- May be used in addition to psychosocial treatment for symptoms of aggressive behavior and to treat comorbid conditions.
- Should not be the only treatment intervention.
- Medications used include stimulants, atomoxetine, mood stabilizers, and atypical antipsychotics.
- Importance of compliance with medication regimen, as abruptly stopping increases risk of rebound reaction.
Nurse's Role
- Educate patient and family about side effects and monitor metabolic assessments and laboratory evaluations.
