“If my child has Conduct Disorder, does that mean they’ll become a psychopath or a serial killer?” | Ep 291

Today we’re diving into a topic that’s often misunderstood, stigmatised, or swept under the rug: “Conduct Disorder”.You might have seen it portrayed in movies as the “bad kid” diagnosis. But there’s so much more to it. We’ll break down what Conduct Disorder actually is, how it differs from typical childhood behaviour problems, whether it’s genetic, and one question I hear all the time from concerned parents:“Does this mean my child will grow up to be a psychopath?”We’ll also talk about the best evidence-based strategies for treatment and why “early intervention is everything”.@01:30 What is Conduct Disorder?@06:00 Is Conduct Disorder Genetic?@09:00 Will My Child Turn Into a Psychopath?@13:00 How is Conduct Disorder Different from Other Conditions?@15:00 How Do You Treat Conduct Disorder?@19:00 Final Thoughts & Wellbeing TipWant to build a healthy relationship with food?Book a FREE 1:1 eating evaluation call HEREBook a retreat call HEREVisit the retreat website HERE FREE Resources:Download my [FREE binge eating tracker tool] To access more of my courses use this:https://stan.store/mindfoodstephDo you have any questions?
