Animal abuse is often an indicator of which disorder in children?

Attention Deficit Disorder
Conduct Disorder
Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder

The correct answer is: Conduct Disorder

Animal abuse is often linked to conduct disorder in children because this behavior reflects a broader pattern of aggression, rule-breaking, and a lack of empathy towards others. Conduct disorder is characterized by a persistent pattern of behavior that violates the rights of others or societal norms, which can manifest in various forms, including cruelty to animals. Children exhibiting conduct disorder may display a disregard for social rules and may engage in violent or antisocial behaviors, making animal abuse a significant red flag for underlying psychological issues within this context. This connection highlights the importance of early intervention and understanding the behavioral signs that can indicate more serious emotional or psychological challenges in children.
