Pattern of negativistic, hostile, and defiant behavior more pronounced than usually seen in children of similar mental age. ODD includes such symptoms as anger, argumentativeness, resentment, swearing, deliberate rule breaking, and annoying others. It needs to be distinguished from the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that it frequently accompanies; ODD can evolve into a conduct disorder.
