  • Self-medication is a maladaptive response often requiring more intensive treatment.
  • Often involves unresolved trauma and difficulty regulating emotions and/or personality vulnerabilities.

Conduct Disorder (CD)

  • Conduct disorder is a condition characterized by persistent behavior that violates social norms or rules.
  • Behaviors include aggression, property damage, theft, or deceit.
  • Prevalence rates vary depending on location (e.g., country).
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are critical to address CD.
  • CD can co-occur with other conditions (e.g., ADHD).

Bipolar Disorder

  • Bipolar disorder is a chronic condition characterized by alternating periods of mania and depression.
  • Bipolar I involves manic episodes.
  • Bipolar II involves hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes.
