Abstract

CIDD is a significant mental health problem in children and adolescents worldwide, with a global prevalence of approximately 3.2% among children and adolescents. Dysfunctional behaviors in children are frequently manifested in the school environment and may be associated with CIDD, causing serious interference in the teaching and learning process. The research aims to identify the prevalence of diagnostic indicators of Disruptive Impulse Control and Conduct Disorder (DICTD) in elementary school students in the public school system of Patos de Minas - MG. For data collection, an online questionnaire was made available to public school teachers in the municipality, in order to record their observations about the behavior currently displayed by elementary school children. The research seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between TDCIC and the school environment, as well as to the development of effective intervention strategies. The analysis of the teachers participating in this study reveals worrying indicators of maladaptive behaviors among students, indicating the possible presence of Conduct Disorder. The results highlight manifestations of disruptive disorders, such as angry mood, impulsivity and challenges to authority, which present significant barriers for educators. The challenges faced not only complicate the pedagogical dynamics, but also have the potential to generate psychological distress in teachers. Given this, the underlying implication points to the need to implement measures and strategies aimed at understanding and addressing the emotional and behavioral needs of these students. Such an approach may include specific pedagogical disciplines, specialized psychological support, improvement of social and emotional development programs, as well as close collaboration with families.
