Zaburzenie opozycyjno-buntownicze
Epidemiologia

Zaburzenie opozycyjno-buntownicze (ODD) charakteryzuje się zmiennym rozpowszechnieniem w populacji dziecięcej, wynoszącym średnio 3,3% według DSM-5-TR, z zakresami od 1% do 16% w zależności od metodologii i grupy badanej. W próbach klinicznych wskaźniki sięgają 28-65%, a w populacyjnych 2,6-15,6%, z tendencją do spadku wraz z wiekiem. ODD manifestuje się zwykle do 8 roku życia, z krzywoliniowym przebiegiem zapadalności, osiągając skumulowane ryzyko 21,9% do 9 roku życia. Występuje częściej u chłopców (RR ~1,6), zwłaszcza przed okresem dojrzewania, jednak różnice płciowe zacierają się w okresie adolescencji. Zaburzenie często współwystępuje z ADHD (40-50% przypadków), zaburzeniami nastroju, lękowymi, uczenia się i językowymi, a nieleczone może prowadzić do poważnych konsekwencji psychospołecznych oraz progresji do zaburzenia zachowania (30-40% ryzyka), które z kolei wiąże się z ryzykiem antyspołecznego zaburzenia osobowości w dorosłości (ok. 40%).

Epidemiologia i wskaźniki występowania ODD

Zaburzenie opozycyjno-buntownicze (Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ODD) należy do grupy zaburzeń zachowania i stanowi jeden z najczęstszych powodów skierowań dzieci do specjalistów zdrowia psychicznego. Zgodnie z Klasyfikacją DSM-5-TR, wskaźnik rozpowszechnienia ODD wynosi około 3,3% w populacji ogólnej.123 Jednakże dane literaturowe wskazują na znacznie szerszy zakres występowania tego zaburzenia – od 1% do 16% w zależności od badanej grupy i zastosowanej metodologii.456

Szacunki wskaźników występowania ODD różnią się znacząco pomiędzy próbami klinicznymi a ogólnopopulacyjnymi. W próbach klinicznych rozpowszechnienie ODD waha się między 28% a 65%, podczas gdy w próbach populacyjnych wynosi ono od 2,6% do 15,6%.1 Większość badań prowadzonych na reprezentatywnych próbach z populacji ogólnej wskazuje na wskaźniki między 3% a 6%, co stanowi wartość względnie stałą w skali międzynarodowej.17

Charakterystyczną cechą epidemiologii ODD jest zmienność rozpowszechnienia zaburzenia w zależności od wieku. Zaburzenie zwykle manifestuje się do 8 roku życia, choć objawy mogą być widoczne już we wczesnym dzieciństwie przedszkolnym.28 Niektóre badania wskazują na krzywoliniowy przebieg występowania ODD, z wyższymi wskaźnikami w wieku przedszkolnym (4-5 lat), następnie spadkiem w wieku 6-7 lat i ponownym wzrostem w okresie około 8-9 lat.9

Badanie longitudinalne oceniające zapadalność (nowe przypadki) zaburzenia wskazało, że prawdopodobieństwo wystąpienia ODD wykazuje kształt kubiczny, ze wzrostem ryzyka w wieku 4-5 lat (od 2,7% do 4,4%), następnie spadkiem do wieku 7 lat (1,9%) i ponownym wzrostem w wieku 8-9 lat (2,9%-3,6%). Do 9 roku życia skumulowane ryzyko pierwszego rozpoznania ODD osiągnęło 21,9%.9

Warto zauważyć, że rozpowszechnienie ODD ma tendencję do zmniejszania się wraz z wiekiem.16 Badania wykazały, że około 70% osób z diagnozą ODD w dzieciństwie nie spełnia już kryteriów diagnostycznych po osiągnięciu 18 roku życia.1011

Różnice płciowe

Względne ryzyko rozwoju ODD u chłopców w porównaniu do dziewcząt wynosi około 1,6.1 Przed okresem dojrzewania zaburzenie występuje częściej u chłopców, z szacowanym stosunkiem 1,4:1.24 Niektóre źródła wskazują nawet na stosunek 2:1.12

Interesującym zjawiskiem jest to, że po okresie dojrzewania różnice między płciami w występowaniu ODD zacierają się, a zaburzenie występuje z podobną częstością u chłopców i dziewcząt.213 Niektóre badania sugerują nawet wzrost rozpowszechnienia ODD u dziewcząt po okresie dojrzewania.12

Warto zauważyć, że różnica w występowaniu ODD między płciami jest obserwowana głównie w kulturach zachodnich. Nie jest jasne, czy odzwierciedla to rzeczywiste różnice w zapadalności, czy raczej niedodiagnozowanie dziewcząt.14 Badania sugerują, że przemoc fizyczna w domu jest znaczącym predyktorem diagnozy ODD u dziewcząt, podczas gdy responsywność emocjonalna rodziców jest istotnym predyktorem diagnozy u chłopców.14

Współwystępowanie i czynniki ryzyka

Współwystępujące zaburzenia

ODD często współwystępuje z innymi zaburzeniami psychicznymi, co znacząco wpływa na obraz kliniczny i rokowanie. Najczęstszym zaburzeniem współistniejącym jest ADHD (zespół nadpobudliwości psychoruchowej z deficytem uwagi) – szacuje się, że około połowa dzieci z ADHD ma również ODD.2 Według niektórych źródeł, wskaźnik ten może sięgać nawet 40-50% przypadków.1516

Inne zaburzenia często współwystępujące z ODD to:171819

Badania wykazały, że osoby dorosłe i nastolatki z historią ODD mają ponad 90% szans na zdiagnozowanie innego zaburzenia psychicznego w ciągu życia.20 Nieleczone ODD może prowadzić do poważnych konsekwencji, takich jak gorsze wyniki w nauce, odrzucenie przez rówieśników i niska samoocena.21

Progresja do zaburzenia zachowania

Istotnym aspektem przebiegu ODD jest ryzyko progresji do zaburzenia zachowania (Conduct Disorder, CD), które charakteryzuje się poważniejszymi naruszeniami norm społecznych i praw innych osób. Badania wskazują, że około 30-40% dzieci z ODD rozwija z czasem zaburzenie zachowania.2216

Ryzyko rozwoju zaburzenia zachowania wzrasta, jeśli ODD zostało zdiagnozowane w wieku przedszkolnym.22 Z kolei około 40% osób z zaburzeniem zachowania spełnia później kryteria antyspołecznego zaburzenia osobowości w dorosłości.23

Czynniki socjoekonomiczne i środowiskowe

Badania epidemiologiczne wskazują na istotną rolę czynników socjoekonomicznych i środowiskowych w rozwoju ODD:1424

  • Dzieci z rodzin o niższym statusie socjoekonomicznym są częściej diagnozowane z ODD
  • Związek między niskim dochodem a diagnozą ODD jest bezpośredni u chłopców, ale bardziej złożony u dziewcząt
  • ODD występuje znacząco częściej wśród dzieci objętych opieką zastępczą
  • Niskie przywiązanie rodzicielskie i określony styl wychowawczy są silnymi predyktorami objawów ODD
  • Znaczącą rolę odgrywają także takie czynniki jak: dysfunkcja rodziny, konflikty małżeńskie i nieprawidłowe interakcje rodzic-dziecko

W Stanach Zjednoczonych zaobserwowano, że dzieci afroamerykańskie i latynoskie częściej otrzymują diagnozy ODD lub innych zaburzeń zachowania w porównaniu do dzieci rasy białej o tych samych objawach, które częściej otrzymują diagnozę ADHD.25

Nadzór i monitorowanie

Istotnym aspektem epidemiologii ODD są zmiany w kryteriach diagnostycznych na przestrzeni lat. Wcześniejsze koncepcje ODD wiązały się z wyższymi wskaźnikami diagnoz. Kiedy zaburzenie zostało po raz pierwszy uwzględnione w DSM-III, rozpowszechnienie było o 25% wyższe niż po rewizji kryteriów diagnostycznych w DSM-IV.2526

DSM-5 wprowadził kolejne zmiany w kryteriach, grupując określone cechy razem, aby wskazać, że osoby z ODD wykazują zarówno objawy emocjonalne, jak i behawioralne. W konsekwencji, późniejsze badania mogą wskazywać na spadek rozpowszechnienia między DSM-IV a DSM-5.2526

Dane dotyczące trendów w rozpowszechnieniu ODD w populacji dorosłych są bardzo ograniczone.1 Niektóre badania wskazują jednak, że dożywotnie rozpowszechnienie ODD w dorosłej próbie populacyjnej wynosi 10,2%, przy czym u mężczyzn wynosi 11,2%, a u kobiet 9,2%.727

Dane z systemu opieki zdrowotnej

Monitoring epidemiologiczny ODD opiera się również na danych z systemów opieki zdrowotnej. W Stanach Zjednoczonych zaobserwowano, że w okresie 10 lat (2004-2013) wskaźnik dzieci otrzymujących świadczenia SSI (Supplemental Security Income) z powodu ODD wzrósł, podczas gdy wskaźnik nowych przyznań świadczeń z powodu ODD pozostał na stałym poziomie.28

W tym samym okresie wskaźnik diagnoz ODD wśród wszystkich osób objętych programem Medicaid wzrósł o 69%, z 0,8% do 1,4%, podczas gdy wskaźnik diagnoz ODD wśród subpopulacji uprawnionych do SSI w ramach Medicaid wzrósł o 63%, z 2,7% do 4,5%.2827

Ogólnie, umiarkowany wzrost liczby świadczeniobiorców z ODD w programie SSI dla dzieci jest zgodny z trendami obserwowanymi wśród dzieci objętych Medicaid.28 Obecnie brak jest jednak populacyjnych lub krajowych danych na temat trendów rozpowszechnienia ODD wśród dzieci amerykańskich.28

Zróżnicowanie międzynarodowe

Badania epidemiologiczne wskazują, że rozpowszechnienie ODD nie różni się znacząco między krajami.1 Zaobserwowana zmienność w rozpowszechnieniu między narodami wiąże się głównie z różnicami metodologicznymi.1

Badania wskazują, że ogólne rozpowszechnienie ODD w różnych kulturach pozostaje względnie stałe.1226 Wyjątkiem są wspomniane wcześniej różnice płciowe, które są obserwowane głównie w kulturach zachodnich.14

W badaniu przeprowadzonym w Chinach stwierdzono, że chorobowość ODD wynosiła 8% wśród chińskich dzieci w wieku 7-15 lat, co jest nieco wyższe niż średnie wskaźniki raportowane w innych krajach.29

Wczesne wykrywanie i rokowanie

Wczesne wykrywanie ODD ma kluczowe znaczenie dla skutecznej interwencji i zapobiegania długofalowym negatywnym konsekwencjom. ODD jest diagnozowane przez psychiatrę dziecięcego, psychologa dziecięcego lub pediatrę specjalizującego się w zaburzeniach zachowania.30

Diagnoza obejmuje szczegółowe wywiady z dzieckiem (jeśli jest wystarczająco dorosłe), rodzicami i nauczycielami, a także porównanie zachowania dziecka z listą kontrolną dla ODD zawartą w DSM-5.30 Zaburzenie diagnozuje się, jeśli dziecko wykazuje określony wzorzec negatywistycznych, buntowniczych, nieposłusznych i wrogich zachowań wobec osób reprezentujących autorytet przez co najmniej 6 miesięcy.31

Badania wykazały, że u 67% dzieci zdiagnozowanych z ODD objawy ustępują w ciągu 3 lat od diagnozy.2210 Jednakże bez odpowiedniego leczenia, osoby z ODD są narażone na zwiększone ryzyko rozwoju zaburzeń lękowych i depresyjnych w dorosłości.10

Wczesna interwencja w przypadku ODD w formie programów Head Start lub wizyt domowych w rodzinach wysokiego ryzyka może pomóc w zapobieganiu rozwojowi tego zaburzenia.22 Im wcześniej można zarządzać tym zaburzeniem, tym większe szanse na odwrócenie jego wpływu na dziecko i jego rodzinę.32

Osoby z ODD są narażone na wyższe ryzyko samobójstwa niż populacja ogólna, co podkreśla znaczenie wczesnej diagnozy i interwencji.3 Leczenie jest szczególnie ważne, ponieważ nieleczone ODD może prowadzić do niepokojących konsekwencji, takich jak gorsze wyniki w nauce, odrzucenie przez rówieśników i niska samoocena.21

  • #1 Oppositional Defiant Disorder – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557443/
    According to the DSM-5-TR, the prevalence of oppositional defiant disorder is 3.3%. In the literature, the prevalence of oppositional defiant disorder in children and adolescents is between 28% and 65% in clinical samples and 2.6% and 15.6% in community samples. Most community sample estimates range between 3% and 6%, and this rate does not vary greatly internationally. The variance in prevalence between nations was found to be related to methodological differences. The data for adult populations are severely limited. The relative risk of developing oppositional defiant disorder in male individuals compared to female individuals is roughly 1.6. However, studies on whether this gender difference persists into late childhood have produced conflicting results. Notably, the prevalence of oppositional defiant disorder tends to decrease with age.

    Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a common disorder in children and adolescents who are referred to mental health providers for behavioral issues. The prevalence of oppositional defiant disorder is about 3.3%. Oppositional defiant disorder is more common in boys than girls, but the data are inconsistent with researchers proposing that different criteria be used with girls, who tend to exhibit aggression more covertly. Children with oppositional defiant disorder are at greater risk of developing conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder in adulthood. However, oppositional defiant disorder is not necessarily a chronic condition. About 70% of individuals with oppositional defiant disorder will have resolution of the symptoms by the time they turn 18 years old. Furthermore, about 67% of children diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder will no longer meet diagnostic criteria within a 3-year follow up. Individuals with oppositional defiant disorder have higher risk of dying by suicide than the general population.

    The prevalence of ODD ranges anywhere from 1 to 11%, with an average prevalence of 3.3%. […] ODD appears to be more prevalent in males than in females (1.4:1 ratio) prior to adolescence, but the predominance is less evident in adolescents/adults.
  • #5 Oppositional Defiant Disorder | Texas Children’s
    https://www.texaschildrens.org/content/conditions/oppositional-defiant-disorder
    Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a behavioral condition, usually diagnosed in childhood, which consists of strongly embedded patterns of negative reactions to authority, willful noncompliance, irritable mood, and negative attention-seeking behaviors. […] The prevalence of ODD reported across clinical studies varies widely (1% to 11%), even reaching as high as 15.6% in some community samples. […] Disruptive behavior disorders such as ODD are considered to be the most prevalent childhood psychiatric conditions in need of psychological services. […] Reported gender differences suggest that boys are diagnosed with ODD more frequently than girls (1.4: 1) in pre- and elementary school, but these gender differences dissipate in adolescence and beyond.

    Researchers estimate that oppositional defiant disorder affects 2% to 11% of children. This range is so wide because some children may be misdiagnosed as having conduct disorder, and teenagers, as a population, are often underdiagnosed. […] The prevalence of ODD declines with increasing age.
  • #7 Prevalence of Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder – Mental Disorders and Disabilities Among Low-Income Children – NCBI Bookshelf
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK332874/
    Among the selected mental disorders, disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) of childhood (oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder, or ODD/CD) are the basis for a relatively small percentage of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) allowances and for a relatively small percentage of the children who are receiving SSI benefits. […] The prevalence of ODD was estimated to be 2.8 percent (CI 2.1-3.7 percent) (NRC and IOM, 2009). […] The lifetime prevalence of ODD was 10.2 percent in an adult community sample, with men at 11.2 percent and women at 9.2 percent (Nock et al., 2007). […] Point prevalence estimates of ODD in children from community samples range from 2 to 16 percent, but most estimates from stratified community samples range from 1 to 3 percent. […] In 2007, parent-reported data asking about prior diagnoses and conditions identified 4.6 percent (CI of 4.3-5.0 percent) of children aged 3-17 years with ODD or conduct disorder.

    Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a disorder defined by patterns of angry or irritable mood, argumentative or defiant behavior, and vindictiveness of at least six months duration. The symptoms lead to conflicts with adults or peers, and are associated with impairment in home, school, or community settings. Symptoms typically begin in the preschool years, although the disorder may be first diagnosed later in childhood, adolescence, or even in adulthood. ODD often, but not always, precedes the development of conduct disorder. […] This topic describes the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, course, assessment, and diagnosis of ODD.

    https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/3/e022493
    Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), a pattern of negativistic, defiant, disobedient and hostile behaviour, is one of the most prevalent disorders from preschool age to adulthood. […] The pooled prevalence is 3.6% up to age 18. […] Currently, we know how many children in the population are affected by ODD at a given point in time, that is, the prevalence, a measure of the status of the disease. We do not know, however, how many new cases appear at different developmental stages, that is, incidence, a measure of newly occurring cases of the disease during a specific developmental period. […] The first three columns in table 3 show the cases at risk (without an ODD diagnosis) at the beginning of each year period, the number of new cases diagnosed with ODD during that year and the incidence. The probability of the appearance of ODD showed a cubic shape, with risk increasing from age 4 to age 5 (R=2.7% to 4.4%), followed by a decrease until age 7 (R=1.9%) and a new increase at ages 8 and 9 (R=2.9%, 3.6%). The last column in table 3 shows the cumulative risk of having a first ODD diagnosis up to 9 years old, which reached 21.9%.
  • #10 Oppositional Defiant Disorder | Psychology Today
    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/conditions/oppositional-defiant-disorder
    No single cause of ODD has been identified, and while the condition tends to run in families, no genetic patterns have been identified. […] ODD is a largely treatable condition. According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the signs and symptoms of ODD resolve within three years in approximately 67 percent of children diagnosed with the disorder. […] In the absence of treatment, the disruptive behavior of ODD is linked to later behavior problems in school and adjustment difficulties in adulthood. ODD carries a risk for the development of anxiety and depression in adulthood. […] There is no medication for treatment of ODD, and medication is not recommended as an approach to treating the behavioral disorder. However, medication may be warranted for treating co-existing problems such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

[…] The pooled prevalence is 3.6% up to age 18. […] Oppositional Defiant Disorder has a prevalence of 111%. The average prevalence is approximately 3%. […] Gender and age play an important role in the rate of the disorder. […] ODD gradually develops and becomes apparent in preschool years, often before the age of eight years old. […] However, it is very unlikely to emerge following early adolescence. […] There is a difference in prevalence between boys and girls, with a ratio of 1.4 to 1 before adolescence. […] Other research suggests a 2:1 ratio. […] Prevalence in girls tends to increase after puberty. […] Researchers have found that the general prevalence of ODD throughout cultures remains constant.

    Before puberty, ODD is more common in boys. After puberty, it occurs almost equally among boys and girls. ODD has no clear cause. The behaviors appear to arise from a combination of genetics and poor parent-child interactions. It may also involve environmental factors that begin in early childhood. […] Before puberty, ODD is more common in boys. After puberty, it occurs almost equally among boys and girls. ODD has no clear cause. The causes of ODD behaviors appear to be a combination of genetics, trauma, or disrupted parent-child attachment. It may also involve environmental factors that begin in early childhood.

    However, the gendered disparities in diagnoses is only seen in Western cultures. […] It is unknown whether this reflects underlying differences in incidence or under-diagnosis of girls. […] Physical abuse at home is a significant predictor of diagnosis for girls only, and emotional responsiveness of parents is a significant predictor of diagnosis for boys only, which may have implications for how gendered socialization and received gender roles affect ODD symptoms and outcomes. […] Children from lower-income backgrounds are more likely to be diagnosed with ODD. […] The correlative link between low income and ODD diagnosis is direct in boys, but in girls, the link is more complex; the diagnosis is associated with specific parental techniques such as corporal punishment which are in turn linked to lower income households.

    Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a disruptive behavior disorder characterized by a pattern of angry or irritable mood, argumentative or defiant behavior, or vindictiveness lasting for at least six months. […] A systematic review found that the prevalence of ODD is approximately 3.3% across multiple cultures; other reports listed a prevalence of 1% to 16%. ODD is more common in children who live in poverty, and before adolescence it is slightly more prevalent in boys, although this difference resolves in adolescence. […] Concern about ODD is among the most common reasons children are referred for mental health services. […] Adults and adolescents with a history of ODD have a greater than 90% chance of being diagnosed with another mental illness in their lifetime. They are at high risk of developing social and emotional problems as adults, including suicide and substance use disorders. Early intervention seeks to prevent the development of conduct disorder, substance abuse, and delinquency that can cause lifelong social, occupational, and academic impairments.

    ODD is somewhat more common in boys than girls and is primarily diagnosed in children; however, it is also seen in adolescents and adults. […] Research estimates that an average of 3.3% of children have oppositional defiant disorder and more than 10% of people will exhibit defiant behavior and other symptoms of this condition at some point during their life. […] Children and teens who develop ODD are at risk for developing anxiety and depressive disorders. […] Furthermore, untreated ODD can have alarming consequences and is associated with higher incidences of poor academic achievement, peer rejection, and low self-esteem. […] Researchers have yet to identify universally specific risks for developing ODD; however, it is believed that a combination of environmental factors stemming from biological, psychological, and social sources play a role in its development.

    Estimates suggest that 2% to 16% of children and teens have ODD. […] In younger children, this disorder is more common in boys. In teens it happens about equally in boys and in girls. It typically begins by age 8. […] Many children and teens with ODD also have other behavioral problems, like attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, mood disorders (such as depression), and anxiety disorders. […] Studies have shown that in 67% of children diagnosed with ODD no longer have the symptoms within 3 years of diagnosis. Another 30% of children go on to develop conduct disorder. The risk of developing conduct disorder goes up if the child was diagnosed with ODD at a preschool age. […] In preschool children, there is evidence that early intervention, in the form of Head Start programs or home visits to families at high risk, may help to prevent ODD. […] Although it may not always be possible to prevent this disorder, recognizing and acting on symptoms when they first appear can ease distress to the child and family and prevent many of the problems linked to the illness.

    Both of these disruptive behavior disorders can be very, well, disruptive. […] The out-of-line behavior exhibited by people with ODD and conduct disorder can majorly impact someone’s life at home, school, and in their community. […] Additionally, both disorders commonly co-occur with other disorders. […] One of the most common comorbidities for conduct disorder and ODD is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). […] Despite some crossover in symptoms, there are distinct differentiating factors that separate ODD from conduct disorder. […] According to the American Psychiatric Association, 40% of those with conduct disorder will later meet the criteria for antisocial personality disorder. […] Correct diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the best outcome for people with ODD and conduct disorder.
  • #24 A Systematic Review of Multiple Family Factors Associated with Oppositional Defiant Disorder
    https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/17/10866
    Given the significant deleterious role of ODD in children’s social relationships, it is necessary to investigate factors that influence the emergence and trajectory of ODD. […] Previous studies have identified numerous factors across diverse domains that appear to facilitate the development of ODD symptoms. These include demographic, biological, environmental, and individual factors and the interplay among these factors. […] ODD has considerable environmental etiology. Family factors, such as familial psychopathology, poor disciplinary practices, maltreatment, and neglect, are known to be significantly associated with children’s disruptive behaviors. […] ODD is more prevalent in families where child care is disrupted by a succession of different caregivers or in families where harsh, inconsistent, or neglectful child-rearing practices are common.

    In the United States, African Americans and Latinos are more likely to receive diagnoses of ODD or other Conduct Disorders compared to non-Hispanic White youth with the same symptoms, who are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. […] Prevalence of ODD and conduct disorder are significantly higher among children in foster care. […] Low parental attachment and parenting style are strong predictors of ODD symptoms. […] Earlier conceptions of ODD had higher rates of diagnosis. […] When the disorder was first included in the DSM-III, the prevalence was 25% higher than when the DSM-IV revised the criteria of diagnosis. […] The DSM-V made more changes to the criteria, grouping certain characteristics together in order to demonstrate that people with ODD display both emotional and behavioral symptoms. […] Consequently, future studies may find that there was also a decline in prevalence between the DSM-IV and the DSM-V.

    Oppositional defiant disorder has a wide prevalence range, from one to 11%. The average prevalence is approximately 3.3%. […] In fact, ODD gradually develops and becomes apparent in preschool years; often before the age of eight years old. However, it is very unlikely to emerge following early adolescence. There is a difference in prevalence between boys and girls with the ratio being 1.4 (boys) to 1 (girls). On the other hand, girls prevalence tends to increase after puberty. When researchers observed the general prevalence of oppositional defiant disorder throughout cultures, they noticed that it remained constant. However, the sex difference in ODD prevalence is only significant in Western cultures. Two possible explanations for this difference are that in non-Western cultures there is a decreased prevalence of ODD in boys or an increased prevalence of ODD in girls. Another factor is based on the criteria used to diagnose an individual. When the disorder was first included in the DSM-3, the prevalence was 25% higher than when the DSM-4 revised the criteria of diagnosis. The DSM-5 made more changes to the criteria, grouping certain characteristics together in order to demonstrate that ODD displays both emotional and behavioral symptomatology. In addition, criteria were added to help guide clinicians in diagnosis because of the difficulty found in identifying whether the behaviors or symptoms are directly related to the disorder or simply a phase in a child’s life. Consequently, future studies may obtain results indicating a decline in prevalence between the DSM-4 and the DSM-5 due to these changes.

    Among the selected mental disorders, disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) of childhood (oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder, or ODD/CD) are the basis for a relatively small percentage of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) allowances and for a relatively small percentage of the children who are receiving SSI benefits. […] The prevalence of CD was estimated to be 3.5 percent, and the prevalence of ODD was estimated to be 2.8 percent. […] The lifetime prevalence of ODD was 10.2 percent in an adult community sample, with men at 11.2 percent and women at 9.2 percent. […] Point prevalence estimates of ODD in children from community samples range from 2 to 16 percent, but most estimates from stratified community samples range from 1 to 3 percent. […] The rate of ODD diagnoses among all Medicaid enrollees increased by 69 percent, from 0.8 to 1.4 percent, while the rate of ODD diagnoses among the SSI-eligible subpopulation of Medicaid enrollees increased by 63 percent, from 2.7 to 4.5 percent. […] Overall, the modest increases in the numbers of recipients with ODD and CD in the SSI program for children are consistent with trends observed among children enrolled in Medicaid.

    Over the 10-year period from 2004 to 2013, the rate of child SSI ODD recipients increased, while the rate of child SSI ODD allowances was flat. […] The rate of ODD diagnoses among all Medicaid enrollees increased by 69 percent, from 0.8 to 1.4 percent, while the rate of ODD diagnoses among the SSI-eligible subpopulation of Medicaid enrollees increased by 63 percent, from 2.7 to 4.5 percent. […] Overall, the modest increases in the numbers of recipients with ODD and CD in the SSI program for children are consistent with trends observed among children enrolled in Medicaid. […] Estimates of the prevalence of ODD and CD range from 3 to 5 percent. A recent meta-analysis estimated the combined prevalence of ODD/CD to be 6.1 percent. […] Currently there are no population- or national-level data on the prevalence trends of ODD and CD among U.S. children.

    Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) includes a variety of emotional and behavioral problems characterized by a recurrent pattern of angry/irritable moods, argumentative/defiant behavior, and vindictiveness toward authority figures. Although estimates of prevalence range from 1% to 11%, the average prevalence rate is believed to be approximately 3–4%. […] Prevalence rates of ODD vary across populations. One study conducted in China found that the morbidity of ODD was 8% among Chinese children aged 7–15 years. Furthermore, the rate of ODD may vary depending on the age and gender of the child. […] A growing body of research documents that ODD is associated with distress in the individual or others in his or her immediate social context (e.g., among family members, peer groups, work colleagues) and is accompanied by extensive social impairment.

    Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a childhood behavioural problem characterised by constant disobedience and hostility. Around one in 10 children under the age of 12 years are thought to have ODD, with boys outnumbering girls by two to one. […] The cause of disruptive behaviour disorders is unknown, but the quality of the childs family life seems to be an important factor in the development of ODD. Some studies have found that certain environmental factors in the family increase the risk of disruptive behaviour disorders. […] ODD is professionally diagnosed by a child psychologist, child psychiatrist or paediatrician specialising in behavioural disorders. Diagnosis involves detailed interviews with the child (if they are old enough), parents and teachers, and comparing the childs behaviour with the checklist for ODD contained in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders from the American Psychiatric Association.

    Prevalence estimates of oppositional defiant disorder vary widely because the diagnostic criteria are highly subjective; prevalence in children and adolescents may be as high as 15%. […] Etiology of oppositional defiant disorder is unknown, but it is probably most common among children from families in which the adults engage in loud, argumentative, interpersonal conflicts. […] Oppositional defiant disorder is diagnosed if children have had 4 of the above symptoms for at least 6 months. Symptoms must also be severe and disruptive. […] Underlying problems (eg, family dysfunction) and coexisting disorders (eg, ADHD) should be identified and corrected.

    As many as one in 10 children may have oppositional defiant disorder in a lifetime. […] Oppositional defiant disorder often occurs along with other behavioral or mental health problems such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety or depression. […] A number of factors play a role in the development of oppositional defiant disorder. ODD is a complex problem involving a variety of influences, circumstances and genetic components. […] The earlier this disorder can be managed, the better the chances of reversing its effects on your child and your family. […] Normal child and adolescent behavior and development can be challenging in their own right, but ODD is distinct due to the frequent and significant disruptions that are caused in the child’s life at home, school, or in a job where authority figures have clear limits and expectations for behavior. […] ODD may be a precursor to other, more severe behavioral disorders such as conduct disorder, but this is controversial.
