[QUOTE="mindinggaps, post: 763956, member: 29823"] Hi [USER=23742]@Nandina[/USER] - Based on my experience and understanding CD is another diagnosis which is applied to youth as a sort of placeholder until more detailed diagnoses can be applied later in life. For CD in particular, I believe it is often a precursor for a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder which cannot be diagnosed until 18. However CD and ODD in youth can lead to various other diagnoses later in life. Regardless, in some sense these delineations come down to semantics in the psychiatric community and different populations may define things differently. I think the main point is that the symptoms which we associated with ODD/CD persist into adulthood, however it is ultimately labelled. The official diagnoses by psychiatrists are used to determine which pharmacological approach to take. [/QUOTE]
