Zaburzenie opozycyjno-buntownicze
Rokowania, prognozy i postęp choroby

Zaburzenie opozycyjno-buntownicze (ODD) charakteryzuje się trwałymi zachowaniami opozycyjnymi i buntowniczymi, które prowadzą do istotnych zaburzeń funkcjonowania społecznego, akademickiego i zawodowego. Objawy ODD wykazują umiarkowaną stabilność od wieku 4 do 10 lat, a ich częstość utrzymuje się aż do późnej adolescencji i młodej dorosłości. Około 30% dzieci z ODD rozwija zaburzenie zachowania (CD), a wcześniejszy początek objawów oraz płeć męska są czynnikami predykcyjnymi cięższej psychopatologii. Wymiary drażliwości i zachowań buntowniczych niosą odrębne ryzyka rozwojowe: drażliwość predysponuje do późniejszej depresji i lęku, natomiast zachowania buntownicze wiążą się z ryzykiem rozwoju CD i innych zaburzeń zewnętrznych. ODD jest silnie powiązane z ryzykiem rozwoju zaburzeń nastroju, lękowych, zaburzeń związanych z używaniem substancji oraz antyspołecznego zaburzenia osobowości (ASPD) w dorosłości.

Naturalne ryzyko progresji ODD (Oppositional defiant disorder)

Zaburzenie opozycyjno-buntownicze (ODD) często prowadzi do znaczących zaburzeń funkcjonowania społecznego, akademickiego i zawodowego, skutkując konfliktami z rodzicami, nauczycielami i rówieśnikami. Chociaż częstość występowania ODD zmniejsza się wraz z wiekiem, diagnoza tego zaburzenia zwiększa ryzyko rozwoju zaburzeń nastroju, lękowych i związanych z używaniem substancji w późniejszym życiu.1

Około 30% dzieci z ODD rozwija poważniejsze zaburzenie zachowania zwane zaburzeniem zachowania (conduct disorder, CD). Zachowania charakterystyczne dla ODD mogą utrzymywać się w dorosłości, jeśli zaburzenie nie zostanie właściwie zdiagnozowane i leczone. Łagodne do umiarkowanych formy ODD często ulegają poprawie wraz z wiekiem, jednak cięższe formy mogą ewoluować w kierunku zaburzenia zachowania.2

Wcześniej uważano, że osoby dotknięte ODD „wyrastają” z tego stanu w okresie wczesnej dorosłości. Jednak obecnie wiadomo, że dzieci z ODD nie zawsze wyrastają z tego zaburzenia, co podkreśla kluczowe znaczenie leczenia w zapobieganiu długoterminowym konsekwencjom, takim jak rozwój antyspołecznego zaburzenia osobowości w późniejszym życiu.3

Stabilność symptomów ODD w czasie

Badania pokazują, że istnieje umiarkowana stabilność objawów ODD od wieku 4 do 10 lat, nawet po uwzględnieniu współchorobowości. Zaburzenie opozycyjno-buntownicze uważane jest za zaburzenie wieku dziecięcego, jednak dowody sugerują, że wskaźniki rozpowszechnienia zaburzenia są stabilne aż do późnej adolescencji, a trajektorie objawów utrzymują się w młodej dorosłości.45

Naturalny przebieg ODD nie jest dobrze zdefiniowany. Jedno z badań wykazało, że u 70% osób z ODD objawy ustępują do 18 roku życia. Jednakże ODD może utrzymywać się w dorosłości, a wcześniejszy początek objawów i płeć męska są czynnikami predykcyjnymi cięższej psychopatologii.67

ODD jako predyktor innych zaburzeń psychicznych

Występowanie zaburzenia opozycyjno-buntowniczego (ODD) u młodych ludzi wiąże się z ryzykiem rozwoju szerokiego zakresu psychopatologii w późniejszej adolescencji i dorosłości. ODD przewiduje również wystąpienie zaburzeń lękowych i depresji.8

Wymiary drażliwości i zachowań buntowniczych, choć skorelowane w strukturze ODD, niosą ze sobą odrębne ryzyka rozwojowe w okresie dojrzewania i dorosłości. Drażliwość w sposób konsekwentny przewiduje późniejszą depresję i lęk, ale nie późniejsze ADHD, zaburzenia zachowania, używanie substancji, objawy zaburzenia dwubiegunowego ani zaburzenia osobowości typu borderline.9

ODD a zaburzenia zachowania (CD)

Zaburzenie opozycyjno-buntownicze w dzieciństwie powszechnie uważane jest za czynnik zwiększający ryzyko wystąpienia zaburzenia zachowania (CD) w późnym dzieciństwie i adolescencji. Badania wykazały, że w każdym wieku więcej objawów ODD przewiduje więcej objawów CD w następnym wieku badania, nawet po uwzględnieniu wcześniejszego CD i współistniejących schorzeń.10

Większość dzieci i nastolatków z ODD nie rozwija CD. U większości dzieci z łagodnym do umiarkowanego ODD zachowania poprawiają się wraz z wiekiem, co wskazuje na dobre rokowanie. Jednak od jednej czwartej do jednej trzeciej dzieci z ODD rozwija CD. Ta progresja jest częstsza u chłopców i jest przewidywana przez dominację zachowań opozycyjnych nad negatywnym afektem.11

Istnieją dwie ścieżki rozwojowe dla dzieci z zaburzeniami zachowania: 1) stopniowy spadek zachowań opozycyjnych w dzieciństwie z przejściowym wzrostem zachowań przestępczych w okresie dojrzewania lub 2) stale pogarszające się zachowania opozycyjne i agresywne. Wcześniejszy początek CD i duża liczba zachowań wskazują na gorsze rokowanie, takie jak progresja do antyspołecznego zaburzenia osobowości (ASPD).12

Konsekwencje ODD w późniejszym życiu

Funkcjonalne konsekwencje związane z ODD w dzieciństwie i adolescencji obejmują konflikty w rodzinach, złe relacje z rówieśnikami, odrzucenie przez rówieśników i trudności w nauce. Kontrolując objawy ADHD, CD, depresji i lęku zgłaszane przez rodziców, objawy ODD od dzieciństwa do adolescencji przewidywały gorsze funkcjonowanie w wieku 24 lat z rówieśnikami, gorsze związki romantyczne, gorszą relację ojcowską i brak kogoś, kto mógłby udzielić rekomendacji do pracy.13

Dorośli i młodzież z historią ODD mają ponad 90% szans na zdiagnozowanie innej choroby psychicznej w ciągu życia. Są oni w grupie wysokiego ryzyka rozwoju problemów społecznych i emocjonalnych jako dorośli, w tym samobójstw i zaburzeń związanych z używaniem substancji.1415

Dzieci z CD są również narażone na zwiększone ryzyko używania substancji w młodym wieku i późniejsze zaburzenia związane z używaniem substancji (SUD). Nastolatki z CD są również narażone na zwiększone ryzyko myśli samobójczych i prób samobójczych, nawet po uwzględnieniu współistniejących chorób psychicznych.16

Czynniki wpływające na prognozowanie ODD

Czynniki negatywne pogarszające rokowanie

Niskie zdolności intelektualne i brak odpowiedniego nadzoru sugerują złe rokowanie.17 Brak leczenia i wsparcia rodzicielskiego często prowadzi do złego rokowania w przypadku zaburzenia opozycyjno-buntowniczego.18

Niestabilność rodzinna jest najważniejszym czynnikiem, diagnoza ODD przed ósmym rokiem życia i cięższe objawy ODD w okresie dojrzewania mogą również przewidywać progresję ODD dziecka do CD i gorsze rokowanie. ADHD i niski wskaźnik IQ werbalnego są również czynnikami predykcyjnymi progresji do CD.19

Czynniki związane z wielokrotnymi przyjęciami do szpitala z powodu zachowań destrukcyjnych u dzieci z ODD obejmują młodszy wiek oraz współwystępujące myśli samobójcze lub diagnozę PTSD.20

Czynniki pozytywne poprawiające rokowanie

Dobre rokowanie jest związane z efektywnym leczeniem współistniejących chorób, terapią indywidualną lub rodzinną oraz pozytywnym rodzicielstwem.21 Odpowiednie leczenie współistniejących schorzeń (takich jak ADHD lub OCD), terapia indywidualna i/lub rodzinna oraz pozytywne rodzicielstwo są związane z dobrym rokowaniem.22

Dzieci z ODD często dobrze reagują na wczesne leczenie. W rzeczywistości, im wcześniej stan jest leczony, tym lepsze rokowanie. Wiele dzieci jest wolnych od schematów behawioralnych w ciągu trzech lat leczenia.23

Wczesna interwencja ma na celu zapobieganie rozwojowi zaburzeń zachowania, nadużywania substancji i przestępczości, które mogą powodować trwałe zaburzenia społeczne, zawodowe i akademickie.2425

Znaczenie wczesnej interwencji i leczenia dla prognozy ODD

Terapia, gdy jest wykonywana prawidłowo, może prowadzić do dobrego wyniku dla dotkniętych dzieci. Nie tylko pomaga im w powrocie do zdrowia, ale także pomaga ich rodzicom i opiekunom przyspieszyć ten proces, chociaż może to potrwać kilka miesięcy.26

Przywrócenie poczucia własnej wartości i zdolności budowania pozytywnych relacji, nie tylko z figurami autorytetu, ale także z rówieśnikami, obserwuje się u skutecznie leczonych pacjentów. ODD nie można zapobiec, ale można uniknąć okoliczności, które mogą pogorszyć stan.27

Ciągłość upośledzenia związanego z ODD w młodej dorosłości wymaga ponownego rozważenia ODD jako zaburzenia ograniczonego do dzieciństwa.28 Wczesna interwencja ma na celu zapobieganie rozwojowi zaburzeń zachowania, nadużywania substancji i przestępczości, które mogą powodować trwałe zaburzenia społeczne, zawodowe i akademickie.29

Typowe wczesne pojawienie się fenotypu ODD sugeruje jego prawdopodobną użyteczność w identyfikacji ważnych rozwojowych czynników ryzyka dla późniejszej psychopatologii.30 Ciągłość objawów ODD, a w pewnym stopniu również CD, w połączeniu ze zwiększonym ryzykiem wczesnych objawów CD przewidywanym przez objawy ODD, podkreśla znaczenie wykrywania, zapobiegania i leczenia zaburzeń behawioralnych już we wczesnym dzieciństwie.31

    Individuals with oppositional defiant disorder often experience significant social, academic, and occupational impairments, frequently resulting in conflicts with parents, teachers, and peers. […] The prevalence of oppositional defiant disorder wanes with age, but a diagnosis of oppositional defiant disorder increases the risk of developing mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders later in life. […] Low intellectual capabilities and lack of proper supervision suggest a poor prognosis. A good prognosis is associated with effective treatment of comorbidities, individual or family therapy, and positive parenting.

    About 30% of children with ODD develop a more serious behavior condition called conduct disorder. ODD behaviors can continue into adulthood if ODD isn’t properly diagnosed and treated. […] Mild to moderate forms of ODD often improve with age, but more severe forms can evolve into conduct disorder. […] A lack of treatment and parental support often leads to a poor prognosis for oppositional defiant disorder, while adequate treatment of coexisting conditions (such as ADHD or OCD), individual and/or family therapy, and positive parenting are associated with a good prognosis.

    It is not easy having to manage and cope with children who have ODD. However, proper counseling is a great outlet for allowing parents and guardians to deal with their concerns and frustrations. Therapy, when done correctly, can lead to a good outcome for the affected children. It not only helps them to recover, but also helps their parents and guardians to expedite that process, although it may take several months. […] Children with ODD often do well with early treatment. In fact, the earlier the condition is managed, the better the prognosis. Many children are free of the behavioral patterns within three years of treatment. […] It was once believed that those affected by the condition would outgrow it by early adulthood. However, children with ODD do not always outgrow the condition. For this reason, treatment is crucial to avoid long-term consequences such as the development of antisocial personality disorder later on in life. […] A restoration of self-esteem and the ability to build positive relationships, not just with figures of authority, but with peers, is seen in successfully treated patients. ODD cannot be prevented, but circumstances that may worsen the condition can be circumvented.

    Moreover, as expected, there was modest stability in symptoms of ODD and CD from age 4 to 10, even after adjusting for comorbidity. […] However, as for symptoms of early onset CD, we found that ODD symptoms remained a significant predictor of later CD symptoms even after controlling for previous CD symptoms and comorbid conditions. […] The present study shows that symptoms of ODD increase the risk of subsequent symptoms of CD throughout the period from preschool to middle childhood.

    Oppositional defiant disorder(ODD) is considered to be a disorder of childhood, yet evidence suggests that prevalence rates of the disorder are stable into late adolescence and trajectories of symptoms persist into young adulthood. […] Functional outcomes associated with ODD through childhood and adolescence include conflict within families, poor peer relationships, peer rejection, and academic difficulties. […] Controlling for parent reported symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Conduct disorder (CD), depression and anxiety, ODD symptoms from childhood through adolescence predicted poorer age 24 functioning with peers, poorer romantic relationships, a poorer paternal relationship, and having nobody who would provide a recommendation for a job. […] The persistence of impairment associated with ODD into young adulthood calls for a reconsideration of ODD as a disorder limited to childhood.

    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. […] 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. […] The normal course of ODD is not well defined. One study showed that 70% of persons with ODD had symptom resolution by 18 years of age.

    Dimensions of irritability and defiant behavior, though correlated within the structure of ODD, convey separable developmental risks through adolescence and adulthood. […] The presence of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) in young people confers the risk for a wide range of future psychopathology in later adolescence and adulthood. […] ODD also predicts anxiety and depression. […] Irritability robustly predicts later depression and anxiety, but not later attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder (CD), substance use, bipolar disorder symptoms, or borderline personality disorder. […] Our study provides additional support for subtyping ODD based on these symptom dimensions, as in the revisions in the ICD-11, and suggests potential mechanisms underlying the development from ODD to behavioral or affective disorders.

    Childhood oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) has commonly been thought to increase the risk of conduct disorder (CD) in late childhood and adolescence. […] The results showed that at all ages, more symptoms of ODD predicted more symptoms of CD at the next age of examination even after adjusting for previous CD and comorbid conditions. […] In conclusion, symptoms of ODD increase the risk of early onset symptoms of CD. […] The continuity in symptoms of ODD, and to some extent CD, combined with an increased risk of early symptoms of CD forecasted by symptoms of ODD, underscore the importance of detection, prevention and treatment of behavioral disorders already in early childhood. […] The results support our hypothesis that symptoms of ODD increase the risk of later symptoms of CD in early and middle childhood, as symptoms of ODD predicted symptoms of CD between the ages 4 to 6, 6 to 8 and 8 to 10 years.

    Most children and teens with ODD do not progress to CD. The majority of behaviors in children with mild-moderate ODD improve with age, indicating a good prognosis. However, one-fourth to one-third of children with ODD progress to CD. This progression is more common in boys and is predicted by dominance of oppositional behaviors over negative affect. While family instability is the most significant factor, a diagnosis of ODD before the age of eight and more severe symptoms of ODD in adolescence may also predict the progression of a child’s ODD to CD and a poorer prognosis. ADHD and low verbal IQ are also predictors of progression to CD. Factors involved in multiple hospital admissions for destructive behaviors in children with ODD include younger age, and co-occurring suicidal thoughts, or diagnosis of PTSD.

    There are two developmental pathways for children with conduct disorder: 1) a gradual decline in oppositional behaviors in childhood with a transient increase in delinquent behaviors in adolescence or 2) steadily worsening oppositional and aggressive behaviors. An earlier onset of CD and a large number of conduct behaviors indicates a worse prognosis such as progression to ASPD. Children with CD are also at increased risk for substance use at an early age and subsequent SUD. Adolescents with CD are also at increased risk for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts even when adjusting for psychiatric comorbidities.

[…] A restoration of self-esteem and the ability to build positive relationships, not just with figures of authority, but with peers, is seen in successfully treated patients. ODD cannot be prevented, but circumstances that may worsen the condition can be circumvented.

    Oppositional defiant disorder(ODD) is considered to be a disorder of childhood, yet evidence suggests that prevalence rates of the disorder are stable into late adolescence and trajectories of symptoms persist into young adulthood. […] Functional outcomes associated with ODD through childhood and adolescence include conflict within families, poor peer relationships, peer rejection, and academic difficulties. […] Controlling for parent reported symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Conduct disorder (CD), depression and anxiety, ODD symptoms from childhood through adolescence predicted poorer age 24 functioning with peers, poorer romantic relationships, a poorer paternal relationship, and having nobody who would provide a recommendation for a job. […] The persistence of impairment associated with ODD into young adulthood calls for a reconsideration of ODD as a disorder limited to childhood.

    However, ODD can persist into adulthood, and earlier onset of symptoms and male sex predict more severe psychopathology. […] 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 social and emotional problems as adults, including suicide. […] Early intervention is aimed at preventing the development of conduct disorder, substance abuse, and delinquency that can cause lifelong social, occupational, and academic impairments.
  • #30 External validation of a bifactor model of oppositional defiant disorder | Molecular Psychiatry
    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-018-0294-z
    Our previous work demonstrated that a bifactor structure including both a general ODD factor and specific irritability and defiant behavior factors provided the best fit to ODD symptoms in five large datasets. […] We hypothesize that the ODD general factor reflects predispositions to, and thus will have phenotypic associations with, both internalizing and externalizing psychopathology. […] Our multivariate behavior genetic analyses used a series of Cholesky decompositions to model the genetic and environmental influences on the overlap between the three ODD factors and each of the five external validity symptom dimensions. […] The majority of the genetic influences that depression/dysthymia and GAD shared with ODD were common to the general, irritability, and defiant behavior factors, although they also shared additional residual genetic influences that were common to both defiant behavior and irritability. […] The typically early emergence of the ODD phenotype suggests its likely utility for identifying important developmental risk factors for later psychopathology.

    Childhood oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) has commonly been thought to increase the risk of conduct disorder (CD) in late childhood and adolescence. […] The results showed that at all ages, more symptoms of ODD predicted more symptoms of CD at the next age of examination even after adjusting for previous CD and comorbid conditions. […] In conclusion, symptoms of ODD increase the risk of early onset symptoms of CD. […] The continuity in symptoms of ODD, and to some extent CD, combined with an increased risk of early symptoms of CD forecasted by symptoms of ODD, underscore the importance of detection, prevention and treatment of behavioral disorders already in early childhood. […] The results support our hypothesis that symptoms of ODD increase the risk of later symptoms of CD in early and middle childhood, as symptoms of ODD predicted symptoms of CD between the ages 4 to 6, 6 to 8 and 8 to 10 years.
