Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jeremy's behavior fits the criteria for oppositional defiant disorder, which is characterized by a persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, argumentative or defiant behavior, and vindictiveness toward authority figures. ADHD and PTSD may share some similar symptoms, but they do not involve the same persistent pattern of negative behavior toward authority figures. Conduct disorder also involves negative behavior, but it includes more serious rule-breaking and aggression than oppositional defiant disorder.
