DMDD
Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD)
What is DMDD?
Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) is a condition primarily seen in children and adolescents, characterized by chronic irritability, anger, and frequent, intense temper outbursts. These episodes go beyond typical emotional responses and often interfere with daily functioning at home, school, or in social settings.
- Persistent frustration and difficulty managing emotions.
- Strained relationships with family, teachers, and peers.
- Challenges in academic performance and extracurricular activities.
- Increased risk of developing anxiety or depressive disorders in adulthood.
