Current Care Guideline «Käytöshäiriöt (lapset ja nuoret)»1 and Summary «Käytöshäiriöt (lapset ja nuoret)»2 in Finnish
This guideline covers prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Conduct disorders in children and adolescents. Diagnosis is based on long lasting, age inappropriate symptoms of aggression and antisocial behaviour (ICD-10, DSM-5). Psychiatric comorbidity is common. Preventive actions should be implemented. Treatment should be tailored individually to include psychoeducation, psychosocial interventions and support, and rarely medication. Collaboration with family, day-care/school, and social work is essential. Evidence-based psychosocial intervention is parent management training, which may be enhanced by cognitive behavioral intervention on social skills to the child/adolescent. For adolescents, multimodal psychosocial interventions accompanied by medication, when needed have proven most useful.
