Yes. You might be interestsed James Q. Wilson's "broken windows" theory of behavior. The theory says that signs of disorder encourage disorderly behavior in those that witness them. Check out the website for a good summary of the theory.\n\nMalcolm Gladwell's book "The Tipping Point" also has a very good chapter on how this theory was put to use to combat New York City's crime epidemic of the 80s and 90s.

A mannersim is a particular pattern of socially-acceptable, situational behavior within a person.  Someone, for example, may have a mannersim of being slow-walking, or in using their hands to express themself when they talk.  Stereotypy is a compulsive, unconscious pattern of motor activity which is pervasive over every situation, such as head-shaking or hand-flapping.  While a person who has a mannerism of using their hands when they talk will stop moving their hands when they are not speaking, a person who has the stereotypy expresed through hand-flapping will continue the behavior while sitting, walking, talking, etc.  Also, stereotypy generally increases in intensity with stress, while a mannerism is usually stable.

Tourette Syndrome   Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (Tourette Syndrome or TS) is a neurological disorder which becomes evident in early childhood or adolescence between the ages of 2 and 15.  Tourette syndrome is defined by multiple motor and vocal tics lasting for more than one year.  Many people have only motor tics or only vocal tics.  The first symptoms usually are involuntary movements (tics) of the face, arms, limbs or trunk.  These tics are frequent, repetitive and rapid.  The most common first symptom is a facial tic (eye blink, nose twitch, grimace), and is replaced or added to by other tics of the neck, trunk, and limbs. \n\nThese involuntary (outside the patient's control) tics may also be complicated, involving the entire body, such as kicking and stamping. Many person report what are described as premonitory urges -- the urge to perform a motor activity. Other symptoms such as touching, repetitive thoughts and movements and compulsions can occur. \n\nThere are also verbal tics.  These verbal tics (vocalizations) usually occur with the movements; later they may replace one or more motor tics.  These vocalizations include grunting, throat clearing, shouting and barking.  The verbal tics may also be expressed as coprolalia (the involuntary use of obscene words or socially inappropriate words and phrases) or copropraxia (obscene gestures). Despite widespread publicity, coprolalia/copropraxia is uncommon with tic disorders

A condition isn't the same as a disorder.\nTo clarify, if you take a substance and that substance creates a result does not mean that the previous condition was a negative one, or that the new condition is a positive one. Take cocaine (or Ritalin) for example.\n\nI also think that using medications for ADD is rarely appropriate as it can be treated or cured using appropriate behavioral strategies.

Bi-polar Disorder should not be used as an excuse for unrelated, bad behaviours/character flaws. It can be difficult for anyone to 'kick' an addiction, but it can be done.

In regards to children who have behavior problems. The first thing that you have to look at with children who have "behavior" problems is their parents. Second is if there is an underlying cause for the behavior. Like chemical imbalance or brain injury. What can be done for them is to first find the cause and then address the issue accordingly. Having worked in the public school system for several years I have found that many of the behavior problems stem from "parenting styles" . Go and visit a local grade school and interview some teachers they will have some great input. Good Luck in your research.

There are four distinct subcategories of mental disorder stipulated in Section 1 of the Act - mental illness, mental impairment, severe mental impairment and psychopathic disorder.\n\nThese categories are not well defined in the Act, indeed, mental illness is not defined at all. Mental impairment is defined as "a state of arrested or incomplete development of mind ... which includes significant impairment of intelligence and social functioning and is associated with abnormally aggressive or seriously irresponsible conduct on the part of the person concerned". Severe mental impairment has a similar definition but with the word "significant" replaced with "severe". Psychopathic disorder is defined as a "persistent disorder or disability of mind (whether or not including significant impairment of intelligence) resulting in abnormally aggressive or seriously irresponsible conduct".\n\nThese categories do not necessarily correspond to medical categories of mental disorder such as those outlined in ICD-10 or DSM-IV; the type of mental disorder afflicting a particular person is very much left up to the clinical judgement of the individual doctor. However, the category "mental illness" is thought by most psychiatrists to cover schizophrenia, anorexia nervosa, major depression, bipolar disorder and other similar illnesses, "(severe) mental impairment" to cover mental retardation (learning disability) and "psychopathic disorder" to cover the personality disorders.\n\nThere are very few exclusions to these definitions of mental disorder. The Act states that one cannot be suffering from a mental disorder "by reason only of promiscuity or other immoral conduct, sexual deviancy or dependence on alcohol or drugs".
