What is Conduct Disorder?
Understanding the condition removes self-blame and sharpens your action plan.
Definition & diagnostic criteria (DSM-5)
Conduct Disorder is a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal rules. The DSM-5 lists four symptom clusters:
- Aggression to people and animals
- Destruction of property
- Deceitfulness or theft
- Serious violation of rules
At least three criteria must be present in the past 12 months, with one in the past 6 months.
Types: childhood-onset vs adolescent-onset
- Childhood-onset (before age 10): more males, stronger aggression, higher risk of future Antisocial Personality Disorder.
- Adolescent-onset (after age 10): equal gender ratio, milder behaviors, better prognosis with timely therapy.
How it differs from ODD & ADHD
| Condition | Core Problem | Typical Ages | Key Differentiator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) | Defiance & argumentativeness | 4–8 | Less severe rule-breaking, no property destruction |
| ADHD | Inattention & impulsivity | Any age | Aggression only when frustrated, not planned |
| Conduct Disorder | Rights violation & cruelty | 6–16 | Deliberate harm, lack of remorse |
Early Signs & Symptoms to Watch For

Destruction of property & deceitfulness

- Lying to obtain goods or favors, “conning” others
