Behavioral Problem

What is Behavioral Problem ?

Behavioral Problem Disorder (often referred to as Disruptive Behavior Disorders) is a category of mental health conditions in children and adolescents characterized by persistent patterns of uncooperative, defiant, aggressive, or socially inappropriate behavior. These behaviors go beyond normal childhood misbehavior and interfere with the child’s social, academic, or family life.
