Conduct disorder is important to diagnose and treat early since some conditions are worse such as the Antisocial Personality Disorder.

oods, including lean meats, beans, lentils, spinach, fortified cereals, and nuts can help maintain healthy iron levels.

Vitamin Intake – Ensuring sufficient consumption of vitamin B12 (found in meat, fish, eggs, and dairy) and folate-rich foods (leafy greens, nuts, and fortified cereals) supports healthy blood production.
