A study by NIH researchers found that young people with conduct disorder exhibit significant changes in brain structure, particularly a smaller cerebral cortex, which may affect behavior, cognition, and emotion. These findings could improve diagnosis and treatment approaches for the disorder.
An NIH-funded study published in The Lancet Psychiatry reveals extensive brain structure differences in youth with conduct disorder, including reduced cortical surface area and subcortical volumes. These findings, from the largest study of its kind, highlight new brain regions associated with the disorder and suggest future research directions for improving diagnosis and treatment.
A metanalytic review of 17 longitudinal studies reported that people who had conduct disorder, defiant disorder, or disruptive disorder as children were more likely to develop depression later in life. The study made a valuable contribution to systematizing scientific knowledge about early risk factors of depression.
