Conduct disorder (CD) in children and adolescence is a serious issue that has serious negative effects on the child, his parents and the entire community . This disorder is chronic and worsens with time, forcing the child into a life of risky aggressive impulses, destructive behavior patterns, disregard for rules, regulation and authority. Because celiac disease is a condition that develops over a long period of time, children can carry the side effects of negative behaviors into adulthood. CD is one of the most commonly diagnosed disorders among children and adolescents and, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Mental Health Integration, 2009), "Conduct disorder is a pattern of repetitive and persistent behavior in which the fundamental rights of others are respected". or major age-appropriate social norms or rules are violated” (Mental Health Integration, 2009). At a young age, children with CD will have difficulty in school; learn, form friendships, and become socially rejected by their peers. As your child becomes a teenager, celiac disease can give rise to many other unwanted worries and mental disorders. A teenager with Crohn's disease will likely have numerous run-ins with the law, difficulty forming and maintaining relationships, and difficulty sustaining long-term employment. Some symptoms of CD are bullying, fights, cruelty to people or animals, rape, vandalism, fires, robberies, thefts and truancy (Mental Health Integration, 2009). It is important to note that the average child and adolescent may act out one or two symptoms, and this is completely normal. It starts to become a concern when these symptoms are constant and repetitive. Conduct disorder is a serious problem that needs to be addressed and… middle of paper… because of the cause.
