Although further study is required to confirm the therapeutic efficacy and to define the precise nature of
iron deficiency
in
conduct disorder
, the weight of the evidence suggests that correcting the nutrient deficit may be an essential step toward a refinement of therapeutic strategies. The presence of a borderline hemogram, hypermenorrhea and malnutrition should alert clinicians to the possibility of
iron deficiency
, and laboratory screening for hypoferremia should be considered when assessing
conduct disorder
.
