    Default Oppositional Defiant Disorder - yup they even have a name for THAT!

    Came across this in my studies and marveled how we have a disorder for everything - BUT regardless - haven't you all had an opportunity to meet these folks as ADULTS much less children?

    People who are continuously argumentive, or 'oppostional' if you prefer. No matter how plain the truth is they argue up down and sideways?

    It sure made me rethink some of the people I have met in the course of my lifetime, that I just dismissed as difficult or that I just cant seem to get along with or find an equal ground to agree on anything - NOW it seems, they got a name...


    Conduct disorder (including oppositional-defiant disorder) Conduct disorder (including oppositional-defiant disorder) - F91# (Clinical term: Conduct disorders Eu91)

    Introduction All children are defiant at times and it is a normal part of adolescence to do the opposite of what one is told. Oppositional-defiant disorder mainly applies to children whose functioning at home and at school is impaired by constant conflict with adults and other children. Conduct disorder mainly applies to adolescents whose behaviour goes to antisocial extremes; many are excluded from school or in trouble with the law.

    Presenting complaints
    • In younger children: marked tantrums, defiance, fighting, and bullying.
    • In older children and adolescents: serious law breaking such as stealing, damage to property, assault.
    • Can be confined only to school or only to home. Diagnostic features
    • A pattern of repetitive, persistent and excessive antisocial, aggressive or defiant behaviour lasting six months or more. • These features must be out of keeping with the child’s development level, norms of peer group behaviour, and cultural context (eg isolated tantrums in a three-year-old should not be regarded as abnormal).
    • In younger children (say, three to eight year-olds), the behaviours are characteristic of the oppositional-defiant type of conduct disorder: angry outbursts, loss of temper, refusal to obey commands and rules, destructiveness, hitting, but without the presence of serious law-breaking.
    • In older children and adolescents (say, nine to 18 years olds), the behaviours are characteristic of conduct disorder per se: vandalism, cruelty to people and animals, bullying, lying, stealing outside the home, truancy, drug and alcohol misuse, and criminal acts, plus all the features of the oppositional-defiant type.

    Differential diagnosis and co-existing conditions Co-existent disorders are common and do not rule out the diagnosis; they are easily missed so should be carefully checked for:
    • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder - F90.
    • Hyperactivity.
    • Depressive disorder - F32#.
    • Specific reading retardation (dyslexia).
    • Generalized Learning disability (mental retardation) - F70.
    • Autism spectrum disorders - F84.

    Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.

    LMAO - aint that the truth? but not just on the boards all though we DO have a few here dont we? that argue and attack seemingly without cause.

    I have met dancers like this too - no matter where the conversation they create an argument, oppose everything you say, even the most benign of topics they have a counter attack, leaving you to think what the fugg is with this gal?

    Damn, now I can just silently "get it" and save my breath trying to understand or talk it over with them or try to get their point - apparently they dont HAVE one. Its just the oppositional part of their make-up.

    It's funny you bring this up.... When I was 14 I was hospitalized with anorexia for nearly 6months. One of my initial diagnosis was ODD. I thought (and still think) this diagnosis is crazy - I mean what 14 year old girl would not make a little fuss about being force fed and living in an institution? :huh: I think a lot of times they pass this diagnosis out for stupid reasons... now as an adult I'm somewhat capable of standing up for myself and i'm aware of my opinions but I don't really have a problem with authority and I don't like confrentations.... I've always kind of been like this.... I don't know ... the whole situation made me whant to be in the psychology field so that maybe I can't help ensure that stupid disorders such as this don't get handed out to everyone that walks in the door - (as many girls did when I was hospitalized!)

    How about hystrionic personality and narcissistic personality? I know several dancers afflicted with those. That plus your ODD type description may be the reasons they are dancers.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
