Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder

Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is a childhood condition that is characterized by extreme anger, irritability, and frequent and/or intense temper outbursts. DMDD is a fairly new diagnosis. Only two major types of treatment are currently used to manage DMDD symptoms: medication and psychological treatment. Psychological treatment may be considered first, with medication added should the need arise.
