While it’s possible for oppositional defiant disorder to present on its own, it’s more likely to be found with other mental illness. Children with ODD may have depression, anxiety, ADHD, or learning disorders. This spectrum can make it difficult to adequately treat ODD, as treating just one disorder may not be as effective as desired. That’s why it’s important to take your child in for a full diagnosis. If the doctor discovers other mental health issues, your child can receive substantial treatment. Dealing with the aligning disorders may help control the ODD.
