Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a behavioral disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of negative, defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior toward authority figures, such as parents, teachers, and other adults. Children with ODD may engage in temper tantrums, argumentativeness, hostility, and deliberately annoying behavior.
