Oppositional defiant disorder is a set or group of behavioural disorders called disruptive behaviour disorders. It is called by this name because children who have these disorders always tend to disrupt those around them. Oppositional defiant disorder is one of the most common mental health disorders found in children and adolescents.
Causes of Oppositional Defiant Disorder:
In fact, there is no specific or clear-cut cause of oppositional defiant disorder. It is widely believed that a combination of various factors such as biological or genetic, physical, psychological, social risk factors play a significant role in the development of ODD. The various causes/factors of ODD are described subsequently.

1. Biological or Genetic Factors: Children are more susceptible to developing ODD if they have a parent with a history of ADHD or ODD. Also, children may be affected with ODD if their parent had depression or biopolar disorder, or exposure to toxins or poor nutrition.
2. Physical Factors: The presence of ODD traits have been linked to the existence of abnormal amounts of some brain chemicals. These brain chemicals, known as neurotransmitters, are responsible for proper functioning of our body activities and it is best for our well-being to have them in a state of balance in our brain. When an imbalance exists and messages are not communicated properly with other parts of brain, the symptoms of ODD may occur.
3. Psychological Factors: Children may develop ODD if they don't have good relation with parents or have neglectful parents or have inability to develop social relationships.
4. Social Factors: Oppositional defiant disorder may be due to inconsistent discipline, divorce, poverty, chaotic environment in the family and exposure to violence.
