Conduct Disorder and Neurofeedback
Conduct disorder in children and adolescents is marked by behaviors that infringe on the rights of others and violate social norms. These behaviors can include aggression, destruction, theft, lying, truancy, and running away. While behavioral challenges are common during development, conduct disorder tends to be long-lasting and significantly disrupts daily life. Often, these behaviors stem from unrecognized auditory and visual processing problems, making them largely outside the child’s control or awareness.
Neurofeedback can help reduce disruptive behaviors, strengthen learning abilities, and improve interpersonal relationships. By training the brain to develop more appropriate brainwave patterns, neurofeedback enhances the brain's ability to manage stress, impulsivity, and anxiety, addressing the underlying processing difficulties that contribute to conduct disorder. Unlike medication, neurofeedback has minimal side effects, with tiredness being the most commonly reported.
