ABSTRACT:
Children's emotional, social, and intellectual development is greatly impacted by childhood behavioural disorders such conduct disorder, ADHD, and oppositional defiant disorder. Early symptoms, diagnostic standards, risk factors, comorbidities, and intervention techniques are all examined in this narrative review. The literature, which focused on studies conducted between 2000 and 2024, was gathered from sources such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The results show that genetic, neurological, and environmental variables are important in these illnesses, which are common and frequently go undiagnosed. Better long-term results require early detection and a multimodal treatment strategy that combines behavioural therapy, parental education, and medication.
