Description

would become very upset and throw temper tantrums when he could not do as he wished. He just seemed to be an unhappy, irritable child. This behavior continued in school. As time progressed, Ryan was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, because he continued to refuse to listen to adults and comply with the rules.

These behaviors include frequent angry and irritable moods- he easily loses his temper when he
does not get his way and seems angry and resentful towards others. The fact that he bullies his
peers is a testament to argumentative and defiant behavior (Danesh, 2020)- deliberately annoying

Medical Diagnosis if Ryan Starts to Violate the Rights of Others
The initial diagnosis (ODD) may change if there is a shift from his behavior- which
mainly involves problematic hostile behavior, which may not necessarily be extremely
