Abstract

The temporal ordering, onset, and cooccurrence of Conduct Disorder and the following comorbid conditions is elucidated: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorder, Substance Use, and Somatization Disorder. The impact of each of the comorbid conditions on the course and outcome of Conduct Disorder is examined. Age and gender are considered as primary influences on patterns of comorbidity. Although the risk of Conduct Disorder in girls is lower than that of boys, the risk for comorbidity for some disorders in girls appears higher than that for boys.
