Understanding Conduct Disorder

Conduct Disorder is a complex behavioral condition typically diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. It is marked by a persistent pattern of behavior that violates the rights of others or major social rules. These behaviors may include aggression, deceitfulness, destruction of property, and repeated rule violations—and they often go beyond typical misbehavior seen in children.

Children with Conduct Disorder often struggle with emotional regulation, impulse control, and social understanding. While the causes may involve genetic, neurological, and environmental factors, the impact can ripple into school performance, peer relationships, and family dynamics. Left untreated, symptoms may intensify over time and lead to more serious issues in adulthood.

Navigating the Disorder Together

At Sacramento Psych Care, we focus on early intervention, aiming to interrupt the progression of symptoms and help your child develop healthier patterns of thinking and behavior.

Understanding the Behavior

We create a safe, nonjudgmental space where families can openly discuss challenges. Our team carefully evaluates behavioral patterns, emotional regulation, and coexisting conditions.

Identifying What’s Driving It

We take time to explore underlying factors—such as trauma, stress, neurodevelopmental conditions (like ADHD), or emotional struggles—so we can understand the full picture.

Building a Personalized Plan

Our treatment plans may include behavioral therapy, parent training, school collaboration, and, when necessary, medication management.
