Abstract
Over the past several years there has occurred renewed psychiatric interest in studying the characteristics, validity, prognosis, and treatment of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Results have supported the validity of ODD as a meaningful clinical entity independent of conduct disorder (Greene et al., 2002). ODD frequently co–exists with other psychiatric disorders such as ADHD (Kuhne, Schachar, & Tannock, 1997). Because of a high association with ADHD, recent pharmacological research has begun to examine whether medications effective for ADHD will also be effective in diminishing symptoms of ODD when this disorder co–occurs with ADHD. This report discusses the characteristics of ODD and then summarizes recent pediatric psychopharmacological studies investigating medication response in ODD with comorbid ADHD.
