[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 639632, member: 1"] I'm no expert but from what I've read there is no clear pathway to treat conduct disorder. According to [URL='http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/918213-overview']medscape:[/URL] Conduct disorder (CD) is one of the most difficult and intractable mental health problems in children and adolescents. CD involves a number of problematic behaviors, including oppositional and defiant behaviors and antisocial activities (eg, lying, stealing, running away, physical violence, sexually coercive behaviors). From Dr. Chandler's link that I previously posted: [SIZE=4][B]How bad are Personality Disorders?[/B][/SIZE] If you have a personality disorder as a teenager, by the time you are a young adult, here are the chances that these bad things will happen to you: [LIST=1] [*]Make a suicide attempt- 6-10% [*]Serious assault on another 25-35% [*]Not get as far in school as you should have been able to 25% [*]Difficulties with interpersonal Relationships 20-30% [*]Ending up with other Psychiatric problems 35-40% [*]Having at least one of the above bad outcomes 70-80% [*]Having at least two of the above bad outcomes 50% (25) [/LIST] [SIZE=4][B]This seems really bad. Do people with personality disorders ever get better?[/B][/SIZE] Yes, some personality disorders are much more likely to improve over time. After 15-25 years, only about 10% of adults who had Borderline Personality Disorder continue to have it. That means 90% got over it. Antisocial Personality disorder tends to improve, too. However, about 25% of people with Antisocial Personality Disorder die prematurely. Of those that do not die, most are better, but few have recovered completely. I agree. By signing the lease you may end up having to pay it. [/QUOTE]
