About Disruptive Behavior Disorder

Disruptive Behavior Disorder (DBD) is not a single procedure but a category of psychiatric conditions characterized by persistent patterns of anger, defiance, aggression, and rule-breaking that significantly impair a person's social, academic, or occupational functioning. Treatment in psychiatry involves a comprehensive, multi-modal approach tailored to the individual. This typically includes a detailed diagnostic assessment, followed by evidence-based interventions such as psychotherapy (e.g., Parent Management Training, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), behavioral interventions, social skills training, and, when indicated, medication management. The goal is to reduce problematic behaviors, improve emotional regulation, enhance family and peer relationships, and develop coping strategies for long-term success. Treatment is collaborative, involving the patient, family, and often schools.

PATIENT REVIEW

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer...

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer with treatment-resistant depression, I'd lost all joy in life until Dr. Kurinjinathan introduced me to novel neuromodulation therapy. His integration of movement therapy with medication completely transformed my recovery, I'm now teaching dance to seniors with mental health challenges.
