Abstract

Objectives: To describe some related-factors of conduct disorder in patients with mixed disorders of conduct and emotion with onset in adolescence. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional description of patients with mixed disorders of conduct and emotion with onset of illness from 10-19 years of age who were inpatients at the National Institute of Mental Health - Bach Mai Hospital from August 2021 to August 2022. Results: In our research, the most common conduct disturbance type is “usually violate age- appropriate norms” with prevalence of 62,9%. There are 67% patients with agressive behaviours. In our research group, 18,6% had suicidal idea and 14,3% had suicidal attempts. There was no relationship between age, gender, socioeconomic status and the four categories of conduct disorder. Agressive behaviour group were significantly older than those that expressed no agressive behaviour. Male gender has higher rate of severe conduct disorder than female (p=0,04). There was no association between comorbid depressive disorder and conduct disorder groups. Conclusion: The majority of children with conduct disorder exhibit violations of age-appropriate norms. Aggressive behavior and suicidal ideation and behavior are common among children with conduct disorder. Age was associated with the occurrence of aggressive behavior but not in the conduct disorder categories in patients with mixed disorders of conduct and emotion with adolescent onset. Gender male was associated with higher severity of conduct disorder. Co-existence of depressive disorder had no effect on conduct disorder categories.
