Dr Sathiya Ganesan’s
Behaviour is a form of communication — when we listen with understanding, we open doors to healing.
Childhood is a journey of growth and learning, but when emotional or behavioural challenges disrupt this journey, early support becomes crucial. Behavioural Disorders can impact family life, academics, friendships, and a child’s self-esteem.
At Dr. Sathiya Ganesan’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Centre, we are committed to providing expert, compassionate care to guide children toward positive behaviours, emotional resilience, and a brighter future.
Understanding Behavioural Disorders
Healing Behaviours, Building Brighter Tomorrows.
Behavioral Disorders refer to patterns of disruptive, aggressive, defiant, or emotionally uncontrolled behaviors that persist over time and interfere with a child’s functioning at home, school, and in social settings.
Common types of Behavioral Disorders include:
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) — frequent anger, defiance, and argumentative behavior
- Conduct Disorder (CD) — more serious violations of social rules and the rights of others
- Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) — sudden episodes of intense anger or aggression
- Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) — severe mood swings with persistent irritability
Early recognition and professional support are vital to helping children learn healthier ways to manage emotions and behaviors.
Common Signs of Behavioral Disorders
Children with behavioral challenges may show:
- Frequent temper tantrums or emotional outbursts
- Excessive arguing with adults or refusal to follow rules
- Aggressive behavior toward people, animals, or property
- Difficulty handling frustration or disappointment
- Persistent irritability, anger, or mood swings
- Low frustration tolerance and impulsive reactions
- Trouble maintaining friendships or academic performance
Addressing these patterns early can prevent long-term emotional and social difficulties.
Shaping Positive Futures: Our Comprehensive Behavioral Disorders Care Approach
Comprehensive, Child-Centered Evaluation
Understanding the root of behavior is essential for healing. Dr. Sathiya Ganesan conducts thorough evaluations, including:
- Clinical interviews with children and caregivers
- Behavioral observation across multiple settings
- Emotional, cognitive, and social assessments
- Screening for associated conditions like ADHD, depression, or anxiety
- Teacher and school reports analysis
Our approach looks beyond symptoms to understand the child’s full emotional and developmental profile.
Guiding Families with Knowledge and Heart
Behavioral challenges can be exhausting for families. Dr. Sathiya Ganesan offers compassionate guidance to help parents understand the emotional needs behind behaviors, rebuild strong connections, and implement consistent, effective strategies at home. Family empowerment is central to successful change.
Shaping Positive Futures: Our Comprehensive Behavioral Disorders Care Approach
Our treatment plans are individualized and include:
- Parent Management Training (PMT) to equip caregivers with behavior management techniques
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for emotional regulation and impulse control
- Anger Management Skills Training
- Social Skills Groups for peer interaction and conflict resolution
- Behavioral Contracts and Reward Systems
- School Collaboration to implement positive behavioral supports in educational settings
We focus on empowering children with the emotional tools they need to succeed at home, in school, and in society.
Thoughtful Medication Management When Needed
For severe emotional dysregulation, aggression, or co-existing disorders like ADHD, medications may be thoughtfully considered. Dr. Sathiya Ganesan always ensures careful monitoring, minimal dosages, and transparent discussions with families when medication is part of the treatment plan.
Creating Positive, Supportive Environments
We coach families and schools in creating structured, nurturing environments where clear expectations, consistent consequences, and positive reinforcement promote healthy behavior development. Building trust and emotional safety is critical.
Integrated Care for Associated Emotional and Developmental Challenges
Behavioral disorders often overlap with other conditions such as ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety, or trauma. Our integrated care model ensures that children receive holistic support across emotional, behavioral, academic, and social domains.

At what age can Behavioral Disorders be diagnosed?
Behavioral concerns can often be identified by preschool age (3–5 years), especially if defiance, aggression, or emotional outbursts are severe or persistent.
Are Behavioral Disorders caused by bad parenting?
No. Behavioral Disorders are complex and can result from genetic, neurological, environmental, and emotional factors. Parenting style can influence behavior but is not the sole cause.
Can therapy really help children with severe behavior problems?
Yes. Evidence-based therapies like CBT and Parent Management Training are highly effective in helping children learn emotional regulation and positive behavior skills.
Will my child always need medication for behavioral problems?
Not necessarily. Many children improve significantly with therapy and behavior modification alone. Medication is considered only when necessary.
How can parents support children with Behavioral Disorders at home?
Using consistent routines, clear expectations, positive reinforcement, emotional coaching, and partnering with professionals creates a supportive home environment for change.
What happens if Behavioral Disorders are left untreated?
Without intervention, behavioral problems can escalate and impact academic performance, social relationships, and emotional development into adolescence and adulthood.
