Difference between Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD)

So many things to study for tomorrow's test, and I'm playing with my blog. Might as well do a little post  to make my study more fun.

Conduct Disorder (CD) - A psychological disorder in childhood and adolescence characterized by disruptive, antisocial behavior
- involves more outright delinquent behavior, such as truancy, stealing, lying, and aggression.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) - A psychological disorder in  childhood and adolescence characterized by excessive oppositionality or tendencies to refuse requests from parents and others.
- more closely related to non delinquent  (negativistic ro oppositional)  conduct disturbance
- typically develops earlier than CD, may lead to the development of antisocial behavior and conduct disorder at the later ages.
- characterized by negativistic and oppositional behavior in response to directives from parents, teachers, or other authority figures.
- Children with ODD may act spitefully or vindictively towards others, but do not typically show the cruelty, aggressivity, and delinquent behavior associated with conduct disorder
