Okay.
So just a little tiny bit of background on how these labels get established.
The label of oppositional defined disorder is found in something called the DSM, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual.
And that is kind of the Bible of of how we categorize behaviors and disorders.
Well, in twenty thirteen, um, the National Institutes of Mental Health started to move research funding away from the DSM.
So the DSM has not proved to be the magic bullet gold standard that it was sold when I was taught.
many decades ago.
And so that is that got me to thinking, okay, so the DSM is outdated.
Why is it outdated?
It's outdated because all it is is describing a cluster of behaviors.
So children who get a diagnosis of a conduct disorder or oppositional defiant disorder, it's just describing a cluster of behaviors.
Oppositional defiance are those behaviors that are
that children are are pushing back on.
And those are the red pathway kids.
Those are the kids who are almost uh knee-jerk or very easily
swept away by their emotions.
They're the in the red, they're in the fight or flight pathway super easily.
And so what did they do?
They try to manage that s again, not on purpose, but the brain and body is an amazing thing.
It adapts to the sense of threat.
