"Conduct Disorder (CD) is the most common antisocial disorder in childhood and adolescence. It is characterised by these repetitive and persistent patterns of behaviour whereby a young person consistently violates the rights of others or disregards age-appropriate societal norms. These behaviours can include physical aggression towards others or animals, destruction or theft of others' personal property, and deceitfulness. Unlike the occasional misbehaviour seen in many adolescents, behaviours associated with CD are more socially disruptive."
"They tend to reflect a pervasive pattern rather than isolated incidents, often highlighting a notable disregard for others' rights and a distinct lack of remorse. This is especially true for a subgroup of young people with CD who display what are known as Callous-Unemotional (CU) traits. Recent research has highlighted the importance of recognising these traits, with the DSM-5 introducing a "limited prosocial emotions"
Adolescence involves rapid biological, emotional, and social change. Approximately 5% of young people develop repetitive aggressive, defiant, or antisocial behaviours classified as Conduct Disorder (CD). CD is characterised by persistent patterns that violate others' rights or age-appropriate norms, including physical aggression, destruction or theft of property, and deceitfulness. These behaviours are pervasive rather than isolated and commonly show disregard for others and lack of remorse. A subgroup displays Callous-Unemotional (CU) traits, now recognised via a DSM-5 specifier for limited prosocial emotions. New data-science methods build mathematical models of child behaviour to reveal mechanisms and inform novel assessment tasks.
