• milton has conduct disorder; melissa has oppositional defiant disorder.​

Step-by-step explanation:

• Conduct disorder:

It is a series of behavioral and emotional problems that occur in children and adolescents. Problems can involve challenging or impulsive behavior, drug use or criminal activity. Diagnosis is more common among men.

• The Oppositional Defiant Disorder :

is defined by a recurring pattern of oppositional, negative, defiant, disobedient and hostile behavior directed at authority figures. All children may have these symptoms from time to time. What distinguishes ODD from typical opposition behavior is how serious it is and for how long it manifests. A child with ODD will have extreme behavior problems for at least six months.
