Utilizing evidence-based interventions so individuals can develop healthy coping strategies

Disruptive and conduct disorders can affect individuals of any age or gender, but they are most commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents. Children with a history of trauma or abuse, as well as those with family members who have mental health or substance use disorders, may be at a higher risk of developing disruptive and conduct disorders. Behaviors such as aggression and violating societal norms can significantly impact daily life and relationships. It may even feel like a constant battle against yourself and the world.

Here at GidexFDA Psychiatry and Behavioral Health PLLC, our experienced providers use evidence-based therapies, medication management, and support services to help our clients overcome the challenges of disruptive and conduct disorders. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where our clients can thrive and achieve lasting recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of behaviors are usually linked to conduct or disruptive disorders?
People often ask about warning signs. These disorders may involve frequent defiance, serious rule-breaking, blaming others, or acting aggressively without remorse. We look for consistent patterns over time rather than isolated incidents.
Is it true that only kids from “bad” homes have these disorders?
No, that’s a big misconception. While environmental stress can play a role, genetics, temperament, and brain function are also factors. We treat every client without judgment and focus on root causes, not blame.
Do you need a diagnosis before starting treatment?
Not necessarily. We can begin with assessments and work toward a diagnosis if it’s appropriate. Our team ensures families understand each step before moving forward.
How is this different from just having a strong-willed child or teen?
Strong-willed kids test limits occasionally. With a disorder, behaviors are more intense, frequent, and disruptive to daily life. We help clarify the difference through clinical evaluations.
What kind of progress should we expect from treatment?
Progress looks different for everyone. It may include reduced conflicts, better emotional control, or stronger relationships. We set realistic goals and measure outcomes to guide long-term support.
