Abstract:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences in the form of aggression in the subtypes of DEHB. A total of 326 male students with ADHD and aggressive behavior are the examples of the study. The average age of children is 9.95 ± 2.03. In the DEHB + DVB group, aggressive behaviors were found to be significantly higher in all the evaluation scales used compared to the DEHB and DEHB + KOKGB diagnostic groups. DEHB + KOKGB is more associated with verbal aggression, but DEHB + DVB is usually associated with more severe aggressive behaviors. Aggressive behaviors in patients with KOKGB+ DEHB should be taken seriously because DVB is an important point in diagnosis.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences in aggression patterns in subtypes of ADHD. A total of 326 boys with ADHD and aggressive behaviors were included. Mean age of the patients was 9.95±2.03 years. Aggressive behaviors were found to be significantly higher in ADHD+CD group, when compared to ADHD type and ADHD+ODD in all evaluation scales used. ADHD+ODD is more related with verbal aggressiveness, but ADHD+CD is generally related with more severe aggressive behaviors. ODD may predict the progression to more severe aggression and a diagnosis of CD in patients with ADHD.
