[QUOTE="Steely, post: 214897, member: 3301"] Ooops..........I was wrong. I guess, what I was thinking was that a Dr cannot assess whether a child is going to have a true personality disorder occur from a diagnosis of Conduct Disorder, until the child is 18. Below is the exact definition. None the less, as you have seen on our board many kids mature out of these types of behaviors, therefore labeling them, in my opinion is completely irrevelant. The bigger question is whether or not there is a chemical imbalance in his brain that is causing the behavior.
