Because Bala Cynwyd Disruptive Behavior Disorders are most common among children and adolescents, it is all too easy for caretakers to assume the symptoms are simply expressions of natural childhood behaviors. Indeed, it is natural for children and adolescents to disobey, be argumentative and lose their concentration. But when the behaviors affect school performance or are age-inappropriate, they may be symptoms of a Bala Cynwyd Disruptive Behavior Disorder. Nurse Leadership Builders offers specialized treatment for various childhood psychiatric disorders. The following encompasses symptoms and treatment our clinic offers for various Bala Cynwyd Disruptive Behavior Disorders.

Bala Cynwyd Attention Deficit Disorder

Bala Cynwyd ADD affects a significant number of school-age children and can persist through adolescence into adulthood. Symptoms of this disorder include difficulty maintaining concentration on work or play activities, trouble following instructions and completing tasks, and an inability to follow a conversation on a specific subject for more than a few minutes. Although most children experience difficulty with maintaining focus, the severity and persistence of these symptoms can make daily activities particularly challenging to children with this disorder. If you suspect your child or adolescent may have Bala Cynwyd ADD, or if you suspect you may have an adult for form of this disorder, it is critical that you obtain a professional diagnosis. Nurse Leadership Builders offers mental health practitioners with extensive experience diagnosing and treating this disorder.

Bala Cynwyd Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Difficulty concentrating, inability to maintain discussions on a single topic, and all other symptoms of attention deficit disorder are present with Bala Cynwyd ADHD. However, sufferers of this disorder cope with their concentration difficulties by engaging in hyperactive behavior. Those affected by this disorder may find themselves constantly fidgeting, experiencing excessive levels of impatience, repeatedly interrupting others' conversations and activities, and being unable to resist acting out on impulses. Because Bala Cynwyd ADHD is similar, but not identical to Bala Cynwyd ADD, it is important to differentiate between the two in order to receive the most effective treatment. Nurse Leadership Builders's specialized mental health professionals have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating this disorder.

Bala Cynwyd Oppositional Defiance Disorder

It is natural for children and adolescents to throw tantrums, talk back, and express other forms of defiance. However, minors with oppositional defiance disorder exhibit hostility to such a degree that their behavior negatively impacts their lives and the lives their caretakers. Signs of Bala Cynwyd ODD may include spiteful and vengeful behavior, frequent outbursts of anger, confrontational posture, plain refusal to comply with rules, verbal obscenities, and deliberate attempts to be antagonistic and disruptive towards others.

Children and adolescents with Bala Cynwyd Conduct Disorder will act out in a variety of ways that cause harm to themselves and others. Behaviors typical of this disorder include verbal or physical bullying, abuse of animals, deliberate destruction of property, theft, fraudulent activities, and disregard for societal or familial rules. Children and adolescents with this disorder can often feel as though their surrounding environments are hostile and will lash out as a result.
