Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Undercontrolled behavior disorders, such as Conduct Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, involve problem behaviors that are disruptive and upsetting to others in the child's environment. These behaviors are often characterized by aggression, defiance, and noncompliance. In contrast, overcontrolled behavior disorders involve behaviors that are distressing to the child themselves, such as anxiety disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Pervasive-aggressive behavior disorders are not a recognized category in the DSM and neurological disorders involve problems with brain functioning, rather than specific behavioral patterns.
