leaving him unsupervised for extended periods. His father has limited contact with him due to
his own personal issues. Alex's mother has reported difficulty managing his behavior and
expresses concerns about his defiance and aggression. Alex's behavior has become
increasingly problematic both at home and at school. He frequently argues with authority
figures, such as teachers and school administrators. He shows little respect for rules and often

diagnosis best fits this clinical picture?

A. Bipolar disorder.
B. Intermittent explosive disorder (IED).
C. Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD).
D. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
