Adults with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) feel mad at the world, and they lose their temper regularly. They defend themselves relentlessly when someone says they’ve done something wrong. They feel misunderstood & disliked, hemmed in & pushed around.
How Does ADHD Relate to ODD in Adults?
It could be that the emotional regulation problems that come with ADHD make it more difficult to manage anger and frustration. The impulsive emotion associated with ADHD means a greater quickness to anger, impatience, and a low frustration tolerance, which can be the spark that lights the fire of ODD. Venting and acting out toward others leads to conflict. Maybe that’s why adults with ODD are more likely to get fired, even though poor work performance ratings are caused more by ADHD.
