We’vetalked previouslyaboutAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),Oppositional DefiantDisorder (ODD)andConductDisorder (CD).Al l threeconditionsarefound inasectionof the DSM-IVtrmental health manual titled“Attention-Deficitand Disruptive BehaviorDisorders”. Butthereisonemorecondition inthatsectionthatwe haven’tyettalkedabout:Disruptive BehaviorDisorderNotOtherwiseSpecified(NOS) (orthe ICD-9equivalent, “Conduct Disorder
NOS”).
In orderto warrant a diagnosis of Disruptive BehaviorDisorder–NOS,a youngster must be ruled out ofADHDasthe primaryissue(although itcanco-existwith DBD-NOS. . . referredtoasbeing"co-morbid"),anddisplaysomeof thecriteriaof ODD(often a precursortoCD)and/orCD,butnotenoughtoful lyenterthose domains.The NotOtherwiseSpecifieddiagnosis indicatesthatthere is a real and significantbehavioural maladjustment,butmoretimeand information isnecessarytodetermineif itenterstherealmsof ODDandCD. Strongevidenceof impairedsocialabi l ities,problematicinteractionsathome,and/ordisruptiveactions inschoolandathomehasbeendocumented,but it is,atpresent,notfarenoughalongthecontinuumtojustifytheODDorCDdiagnosis.
