Oppositional defiant and conduct disorder: a review of the past 10 years, part I.
TL;DR: Empirical findings on oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD) suggest that symptoms that are more serious, more atypical for the child's sex, or more age-atypical appear to be prognostic of serious dysfunction.
