ODD Dx reserved for children and teens.
Okay let me see if I'm following this in a very general and non specific way.
I'm not saying JVDS has this.
A child that has been diagnosed with ODD, if it is left untreated may eventually have a more serious conduct disorder and that could include Intermittent explosive disorder.
Now, I seem to recall a study (just vaguely) and I could be recalling completely something not connected but has it been suggested that some children/adolescents that have a diagnosed ODD but do not get proper treatment can also be later diagnosed with Anti-social PD?
Please don't take the above as fact (to anyone reading this) I'm just exploring this in my own mind and it probably has nothing to do with JVDS.
