Houston Behavioral Disorder Treatment

The American Psychological Association defines Behavior Disorders as any persistent and repetitive pattern of behavior that violates societal norms or rules, seriously impairs a person’s functioning, or creates distress in others.

Below are three of the most common behavioral disorders.

·       Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

·       Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)

·       Conduct Disorder

Treatment of behavioral disorders may include Individual Therapy, Family Therapy, and Parent Management Training and may include the below tasks.

• Psych-education

• Emotional regulation

• Coping skills

• Setting expectations and consequences

• Processing trauma

• Strengthening the support system

Untreated childhood behavioral disorders may result in academic and conduct problems at school and may negatively impact family relationships and damage self-worth. As adults, behavioral disorders can make it difficult to adjust to the responsibilities of adulthood, such as consistent employment, maintaining relationships, and following laws.
