Common behavioral disorders typically include ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder), Conduct Disorder, and severe impulse-control issues. These show up as persistent temper tantrums, constant defiance of authority, extreme aggression, rule-breaking, and extreme difficulty in sitting still or focusing.
Every child throws tantrums or acts out occasionally. However, if these behavioral issues last consistently for more than 6 months, are far more severe than children of the same age, and seriously disrupt their schooling, family harmony, or social relationships, it crosses into a clinical concern that requires professional evaluation.
