When I hear the term emotional disorder, I would first think about a child who exhibits internalizing behaviors, which includes depressive and anxiety symptoms. I think that because children with emotional disorders would have difficulty in regulating their emotions, they may appear withdrawn or experience many mood changes. I think that they may also exhibit some externalizing behaviors such as increased exuberance and poor response to disappointments through aggression.

When I hear the term behavioral disorder, I would first think about a child who exhibits externalizing behaviors. This would include symptoms of ADHD, ODD and conduct problems, such as impulsivity and deviant behaviors directed toward the physical environment (e.g. aggression). I would imagine that a child with behavioral problems would have difficulties learning in the classroom and may show defiance or hyperactivity.

When i hear the term emotional and behavioural disorder, i would think that the person has poor control/ regulation about their emotions. That person might experience huge mood swings or are unable to feel a certain emotion or on the opposite end, feel too much of a certain emotion. When i think of behavioural disorder, I associate it with compulsive behaviour such as OCD.

To me, emotional disorders would involve the inability to effectively manage or control one's emotions while behavioural disorders would mean the inability to control one's behaviour. A child with an emotional disorder or behavioural disorder may exhibit certain behaviours which others may deem as inappropriate or uncalled for due to the inability of others to understand where the child is coming from. Hence it is important that we understand these conditions thoroughly so we know how we can help these individuals.

To me, emotional disorder refers to one's consistent inability to manage or regulate his/her own emotions resulting in irrational behaviors such as anger outburst, or emotional breakdown.

On the other hand, behavioral disorder would refer to one's consistent inability to manage or control his/her own behavior such as an urge to do something even if the particular action has little/no significance i.e. kleptomania?

When we mention emotional disorder or behavioural disorder I would be likely to think there is a psychiatric element to the disorder. Perhaps Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Bipolar Disorder and even depression. All the mentioned conditions have a emotional aspect to them - either the lack of a certain emotion or an excessive expression of another. I probably would think of OCD and maybe even Dissociative Identity disorder as behavioural disorders where a person behaves in an atypical manner or manner that does not conform to rules set by society

Emotional disorders to me meant having difficulties in controlling one's mood, behaviours and emotions. Having any type of emotional disorders would affect an individual's daily lifestyle and as such, the people around them. Simultaneously, this affect the individual's' ability to maintain or even build relationships with others. Consequently, impacting their social relationships with others.

To me, emotional disorder and behavioral disorder refers to conditions where an individual is unable to control their emotions due tio biological reasons, perhaps due to neurological issues or due to the biochemistry in the body.  This is manifested in their actions -  through actions that are seen as not normal to typically developing individuals. At the same time, I feel that this condition can be managed with the use of psychiatric ( that are diagnosed by professionals and with proper strategies, individuals having such conditions are better able to cope with their symptoms and live their daily lives without much difficulty)

These days, when I hear the terms 'emotional disorder' and 'behavioural disorder', I am instantly brought back to my international practicum days. During my practicum in New Zealand, I encountered a student who had sudden episodes of aggressive screaming, emotional outbursts and display of violence. My coordinating teacher later told me that the student had once attempted to strangle another student after losing control over her emotions. She further explained to me that the child had a disorder called the Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), and that it had something to do with the child's family background and the environment she grew up in. During my lesson observations in that class, I observed that the child displayed significant difficulties in communicating with her peers, and her frequent outbursts were also seen as disruptive behaviour in the classroom.

And it was during the time I spent there that I realised that emotional and behavioural disorders are not always separated by a clearly-defined boundary -- often times, one's ability to control, read or express his/her emotions influences the way he/she behaves in a social setting. In the aforementioned case above, the child had trouble controlling both her emotions and disorders.

Even disorders like social anxiety disorders or the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) encompasses aspects of an individual's emotions and feelings, which in turn compel them to act in a certain manner. Hence, while certain conditions lean more towards one particular category, it is important that we do not view them merely in silos.

Emotional Behavioural Disorders (EBD) seems to suggest that one with EBD is unable to regulate his/her emotions and in turn, his/her behaviours. One with EBD might experience mood fluctuations, hypersensitivity to emotional stimuli, and unable to control these emotions. Subsequently, due to these overwhelming emotions, he/she acts out in ways unwillingly. Their behaviour may easily and often go against unwritten societal rules of behaviour.

When I hear the term 'emotional disorder', I would think that the individual may have difficulty in expressing and regulating emotions which in turn manifest into maladaptive behaviours. They may also possibly face challenges in 'reading' and understanding emotions of others.

Meanwhile, I associate the term 'behavioural disorder' with ADHD and conduct disorder, which suggest that the individual may exhibit disruptive or contextually inappropriate behaviours.

Emotional disorders sounds like it refers to individuals who have difficulty expressing and regulating emotions.  For behavioural disorders, individuals may have difficulty understanding and controlling one's behaviour.

Maybe, individuals with emotional and behavioural disorder would have trouble making friends or acting appropriately in social situations.

Emotional disorder could mean that someone has troubles with expressing emotions or are able to process their emotions which could then result in immense stress on themselves.

When I was younger, my counsellor suggested to my parents that I had an emotional behavioural disorder. She said that I didn't enjoy classes, seldom expressed happiness or satisfaction and didn't make friends. Things gradually changed when my family supported me extensively, and it is only looking back that I remember going through something like that. Now I think I was just a very morose 6 year old with bouts of ADHD. I used to go from episodes of daydreaming to jumping around class with a broom. This was quite unusual in girls but my counsellors at that time were determined not to label me.

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear emotional disorder is the inability to recognise one's own emotions and other's emotions. Perhaps it also indicates the lack of ability to link facial expressions to emotions (e.g. frown --> sad).

Behavioural disorder sounds like the inability to control one's behaviour. It can mean displaying inappropriate behaviours without intending to. I would imagine that children with this disorder are often labelled as "naughty" or "uncultured".

Emotional disorder sounds like when a person has challenges controlling what they feel and may not know how to manage the emotions. I'm guessing it may be related to negative emotions too. For behavioral disorder, perhaps it refers to someone who is unable to hold back behaving a certain way, usually with a negative connotation. One last wild guess is that this has to do with mental health.

I think emotional disorders are those that affect one's ability to regulate their emotions, such as depression and anxiety related disorders. Behavioral disorders are those that affect one's ability to manage their behaviors, such as ADHD. I think there is often high comorbidity between the two types of disorders, and in both cases, individuals tend to display emotions/behaviors that are inappropriate/out of proportion to the situation.

The term emotional and behavioural disorder makes me think that an individual with EBD would have difficulty in regulating and understanding their emotions and behaviours, to the point where it is debilitating and it intrudes their daily lifestyle.

When I hear the term emotional disorder, I would think that the person will have difficulty regulating or expressing his/her emotions. Also, there will be times when their emotions shown might not be the accurate depiction of what they are actually feeling.  When I hear about the term behavioural disorder, I would think that the person faces difficulty in managing his/her behaviour. It can be behaviours like being violent but it is something that they are not able to have control over.

My impression of EBD involves dysregulation in emotions and behaviours. This can refer to difficulty in regulating one’s own emotions/behaviours or the excessive display of one particular emotion/behaviour that is deemed to be inappropriate.

For emotional disorder, I think about challenges the person faces about emotions, maybe such as understanding emotions and expressing emotions. For behavioural disorder, what comes to my mind currently would be the difficulties in controlling one's actions and often would act in a way that may be uncomfortable to others.

A person with emotional and behavioural disorder may have difficulties in controlling their emotions and paying attention during their daily activities. Being in a persistent state of anxiety over an extended period of time may be a form of emotional disorder. Behavioural disorder may involve defiant behaviours and impulsivity

May have trouble with handling difficulties faced and this affects daily interaction. Either externalize difficulties - behavior disorders (such as 'causing trouble') or internalize difficulties - emotional disorder (such as intense personal unhappiness)
