Treatment for ODD typically involves a combination of behavioral therapy, parent training programs, and, in some cases, medication. Early intervention is crucial for effective management. Here are some key treatment approaches:
Parent Management Training (PMT): Helps parents develop effective strategies to manage their child's behavior. Individual and Family Therapy: Works on improving communication and resolving conflicts within the family. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps the child learn to control their emotions and behavior. Medication: In some cases, medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms, especially if there are coexisting conditions like ADHD.
