Several terms ago I had a student who was very argumentative, defiant, and often lost his temper outside the classroom. He had been in the Marine Corp and had two tours of duty in Iraq. I thought he may be suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. However, after reading and studying the material in the course. I now look at the Oppositional Defiant Disorder as a possibly. Are the two related or can PTSD cause ODD?
