Oppositional defiant disorder in adults often overlaps with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults.
According to the ADHD magazine ADDitude:
{{Cquote|An adult with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) may feel mad at the world, and lose his temper regularly — even daily. This may manifest as road rage or verbal abuse. It may cause tension with authority figures, and trouble at work. It may tear apart relationships...
ODD has a strongly genetic component. It runs in families and several people in the same family may be affected. It often begins in childhood with patterns of rebellion against adults and their rules. Some children with ODD outgrow the condition by age eight or nine. But about half of them continue to experience symptoms of ODD through adulthood.
People with ODD report feeling angry all of the time, and about 40 percent of them become progressively worse and develop antisocial personality disorder.<ref>[https://www.additudemag.com/oppositional-defiant-disorder-in-adults/#:~:text=Adults%20with%20ODD%20defend%20themselves,to%20maintain%20relationships%20and%20marriages.
