Behavioural Disorders

Individuals with behavior and conduct difficulties are those who struggle with their behavior to the extent that normal standards or conventions are broken and their behavior creates distress for others. These issues can develop for a variety of causes, including physical illnesses, learning disabilities, and mood disorders including depression.

Treating behavioral disorders in Canada involves a multi-faceted approach that includes medical, psychological, and social interventions. Depending on the specific disorder, medications such as stimulants, antidepressants, antipsychotics, or mood stabilizers may be prescribed. Various forms of therapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and family therapy, are commonly used. Behavior Modification Programs involve strategies to reinforce desired behaviors and reduce unwanted behaviors.
