What are the symptoms of conduct disorder?

Definition of Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is defined as: "The repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the rights of others are violated or social norms are not followed." What that means is a whole lot of trouble. A child diagnosed with conduct disorder typically is aggressive, threatens others, may do physical harm to others, steals, makes poor grades in school, has difficulty keeping a job, and may be violent at times and have a difficult time controlling anger. A great website for finding out more about conduct disorder is Mental Health. And do not forget to check out my books section for information as well.
