Asking a child to stop playing a video game or help with chores around the house can produce an annoyed response, but when age-appropriate requests lead to extreme behavioral responses, there may be something else happening. Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is a childhood condition of extreme irritability, anger, and frequent, intense temper outbursts. DMDD symptoms go beyond being a “moody” child. Children with DMDD experience severe impairment that requires clinical attention.
In this webinar, Ellen Biros, LCSW, will help you about the evolution of the DMDD diagnosis, criteria for diagnosis and assessment methods for evaluation and treatment.
