Behavioral disorders, also called disruptive behavioral disorders can affect children as well as adults, and cause difficulty for a person in his or her personal relationships, in school and at work. There are several types of disorders in this group, including Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Causes Of Behavioral Disorders
There are a number of factors that can lead to the development of a behavioral disorder. The underlying cause can be explained by a combination of the person’s genetic make-up and his or her environment at home and school. These factors include:
- Malnutrition
- Physical illness or disability
- Divorce or major emotional upset in the home
- Inconsistent or harmful discipline
- Poor attitude toward school or education
