Essential (required) features
• The presentation is characterized by disruptive or dissocial symptoms that share primary 
clinical features with other disruptive behaviour and dissocial disorders (i.e. persistent 
behaviour problems across multiple settings that range from markedly and persistently 
defiant, disobedient, provocative or spiteful to those that persistently violate the basic 
rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms, rules or laws).
• The disruptive or dissocial symptoms do not fulfil the diagnostic requirements for 
oppositional defiant disorder or conduct-dissocial disorder.
• The symptoms are not better accounted for by another mental, behavioural or 
neurodevelopmental disorder (e.g. attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a mood 
disorder, an anxiety or fear-related disorder).
• The behaviour pattern has persisted for an extended period of time (e.g. 6 months or more).
• The symptoms and behaviours are not developmentally appropriate or culturally 
sanctioned.
• The symptoms and behaviours are not a manifestation of another medical condition, and 
are not due to the effects of a substance or medication on the central nervous system, 
including withdrawal effects.
• The symptoms result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, 
occupational or other important areas of functioning.
