Behavioral Disorders
Behavioral disorders involve a pattern of disruptive behaviors that cause problems in school, at home, and in social situations. Behavioral disorders are common in children and adults. Nearly everyone shows some of these behaviors at times, but behavior disorders are more serious. If left untreated in childhood, these disorders can negatively affect a person's ability to hold a job and maintain relationships.
