Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder can be described as chronic problems with behavior. Symptoms include substance abuse, criminal activity, anti-social behavior and other behavioral problems. The causes of conduct disorder range from child abuse to poverty to genetic defects. Whatever the cause, the symptoms of conduct disorder can be difficult to deal with. This is why online therapy through Mentaline.com is so helpful. Although conduct disorder is more common in boys, it does affect girls as well. Here is a closer look at the symptoms of conduct disorder as well as some of the risks that come with it.

Symptoms of Conduct Disorder 

These are the general symptoms of conduct disorder.


  • Long periods of bad behavior that is constant and extreme is one of the main symptoms of conduct disorder.
  • In general, anti-social behavior - including criminal activity - is also a sign of a problem with conduct disorder.
  • Substance abuse may be another side effect of problems with conduct disorder.
  • Running away from home repeatedly may point to conduct disorder being a problem.
  • Lying and other behavior problems also point to conduct disorder. 
  • Bullying others is common for children with conduct disorder.

Not all of these signs will be present, but if some of them are - especially with a history of problems in the past - it is important to get a diagnosis so that treatment can begin. When left untreated, conduct disorders can lead to many other bigger problems.

Dangers of Conduct Disorder

When not treated, conduct disorder can lead to numerous other problems. From difficulties in social situations to poor academic performance, there are many areas that can be affected by conduct disorder when treatment isn't sought. Because of the other risks associated with this disorder, it is important to carefully consider therapy and counseling so that the problem can be dealt with before it gets out of control.

Treatment for Conduct Disorder 

Treatment for conduct disorder here at Mentaline.com consists of a powerful combination between a large selection of highly skilled therapists and internet therapy. For the best chances of success, it is important for the child with conduct disorder to work with their family and the trained therapists at Mentaline.com to come up with appropriate ways to deal with life that don't include the extreme bad behavior seen with conduct disorder. Online therapy for conduct disorders may be new, but it is a powerful way to get the help needed to deal with this disorder.

Definition of Conduct Disorder
