This sense belongs to formal clinical language in psychology and psychiatry. It is not interchangeable with sense 1 (INTERRUPTING) — in a clinical report, 'disruptive behavior' refers to a diagnostic pattern of disorganization, not merely a child misbehaving in class. Distinguish from sense 1 by the presence of clinical context (disorder, symptom, diagnosis).
