Dr.Ryan - You had mentioned that some depressed children develop a conduct disorder in the course of their depressive disorder. Is this a true comorbidity or is the conduct disorder a somatic complaint and effect of the depression (ie. is the conduct disorder due to the result aberrant coping mechanisms as a result of the depression)? I know that comorbid disorders often have a common link (eg. anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder and substance abuse). Do you think that this is what is going on in this instance?
Thank you for your time and the presentation. - Cam W.
