Disruptive Mood
Dysregulation Disorder
Anis Muhammad, Shehryar Bangash, Kinza Tehseen
Diagnostic Criteria
A. Severe recurrent temper outbursts manifested verbally and/or behaviorally
that are grossly out of proportion in intensity or duration to the situation or
provocation
B. The temper outbursts are inconsistent with developmental level
C. The temper outbursts occur, on average, three or more times per week
D. The mood between temper outbursts is persistently irritable or angry most
of the day, nearly every day, and is observable by others
Diagnostic Criteria
E. Criteria A-D have been present for 12 or more months
F. Criteria A and D are present in at least two of three settings (i.e. at home,
at school, with peers) and are severe in at least one of these
G. The diagnosis should not be made for the first time before age 6 years or
after age 18 years
H. By history or observation, the age at onset of Criteria A-E is before 10 years
Considerations
 Children with DMDD eventually go on to develop depression or anxiety
disorders
 Controversial diagnosis
 Sprung forth from children being over-diagnosed with BPD (Pediatric Bipolar
Disorder), however, without meeting all the criteria for BPD and for lack of a
better diagnosis
Differentiating DMDD From BPD
 Chronic and non-episodic irritability
 Children and adolescents with Bipolar Disorder present with distinct periods of
depressed mood and of mania or hypomania; patients with DMDD do not show well
defined episodes
 No manic, euphoric, or grandiose characteristics as in BPD
 Unipolar towards depressive mood
 “I brought my 10-year-old girl to your facility with very few hopes left. Since
the age of 7 this beautiful child, my wonderful sweet little girl, had turned
into something I could have never guessed. Assaulting our family, the
neighbors, her teachers, her siblings, peers at school. At one time having
received slight criticism from her teacher on her homework, she grabbed a
pencil and stabbed her. At another time I had to call the police on her at our
own home in order to restrain her because I just didn’t know what to do. For
3 years I didn’t have my daughter, I was living with a monster…”
Functional Consequences of DMDD
 Chronic, severe irritability, such as is seen in disruptive mood dysregulation
disorder, is associated with marked disruption in a child's family and peer
relationships, as well as in school performance.
 Because of their extremely low frustration tolerance, such children generally
have difficulty succeeding in school; they are often unable to participate in
the activities typically enjoyed by healthy children; their family life is
severely disrupted by their outbursts and irritability; and they have trouble
initiating or sustaining friendships.
Functional Consequences of DMDD
 Often causes severe disruption in the lives of the affected individual and their
families.
 Dangerous behaviors, suicidal ideation or suicide attempts, severe aggression,
and psychiatric hospitalization are common
Symptoms in School Setting
 Severe temper outbursts
 Physical aggressiveness towards peers or teachers
 Refusal to attend school
 Refusal to take part in schedule assigned by teachers
 Getting upset over slight interferences
 Refusal to cooperate
 Fighting verbally or physically
 Alcohol or substance abuse
 Swearing inappropriately
Assessment of DMDD
 Because DMDD is a new diagnosis, there are no available assessment tools to
assist in diagnosing and assessing the disorder
 Professionals are currently dependent on a process of ruling out other medical
disorders (e.g. major depressive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder,
bipolar disorder)
 Particular attention needs to be given the nature of the irritability as it is
non-episodic, chronic, elevated, persistent, and frequent. It should not be
confused with irritability that presents only during stressful circumstances or
developmentally appropriate emotional responses
Assessment of DMDD
 Early Developmental and Home Background clinical and parent rated forms
(EDHB)
 Beck Depression Inventory for Youth (BDI-Y)
 CBCL
 Child Bipolar Questionnaire (CBQ)
Treatment
 Pharmacological Interventions
 CBT
 Play Therapy
Prognosis
 Although little is known about the course of
DMDD, the chronic irritability and angry outbursts
that characterize DMDD often last through early
adolescence if left untreated
 Participants with history of DMDD were more
likely than their counterparts to come from
impoverished families and single-parent homes
Copeland WE; Shanahan L; Egger H; Angold A; Costello EJ (2014), "Adult diagnostic and functional outcomes of
DSM-5 disruptive mood dysregulation disorder", American Journal of Psychiatry, 171 (6): 668–674
Prognosis
 Participants with a childhood DMDD diagnosis were more likely
to develop depressive or anxiety disorders as adults; had higher
rates of poor health outcomes such as STD transmission, illness
and smoking; were more likely to engage in illegal or risky
behaviors as well as be convicted of felony charges and were
more likely to be impoverished
 DMDD at the age of 6 years also predicted current and lifetime
depressive disorder and ADHD at the age of 9 years
Copeland WE; Shanahan L; Egger H; Angold A; Costello EJ (2014), "Adult diagnostic and functional outcomes of DSM-5 disruptive
mood dysregulation disorder", American Journal of Psychiatry, 171 (6): 668–674
Epidemiology
 Primary studies have found a prevalence rate of 0.8% to 3.3%
 Predominately male
Etiology
 Family problems such as divorce, moves, death in the family may contribute
to the disorder
 Psychological trauma or emotional, sexual, or physical abuse in early ages of
development
 Alcohol and drug abuse during pregnancy
 Poor diet, vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition
Etiology
 Youth with DMDD have difficulty attending, processing, and responding to
negative emotional stimuli and social experiences in their everyday lives
 E.g. some studies have shown youths with DMDD to have problems
interpreting the social cues and emotional expressions of others. These youths
may be especially bad at judging others’ negative emotional displays, such as
feelings of sadness, fearfulness, and anger
 Functional MRI studies suggest that under-activity of the amygdala, the brain
area that plays a role in the interpretation and expression of emotions is
associated with these deficits
Weis, Robert (2014). Introduction to abnormal child and adolescent psychology (2nd ed.). Los Angeles,
CA: SAGE. p. 477.
Etiology
 Children with DMDD may also have difficulty regulating negative emotions
once they are elicited. To study these problems with emotion regulation,
researchers asked children with DMDD to play computer games that are rigged
so that children will lose. While playing these games, children with DMDD
report more agitation and negative emotional arousal than their typically-
developing peers. Furthermore, youths with DMDD showed markedly greater
activity in the medial frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate cortex, than
comparison youths.
Weis, Robert (2014). Introduction to abnormal child and adolescent psychology (2nd ed.). Los Angeles,
CA: SAGE. p. 477.
School-Based Interventions
Recognize Mood Changes and Negative Thoughts
 Parents and teachers can ask these kids to relate
their mood shifts with physical sensation, thoughts,
or memories. They can also record what happened
before their mood change (e.g. arguments, music,
poor sleep, missed meal). These responses usually
include repetitive thinking. Sometimes young
people don’t notice their negative thinking
processes. Once they learn to recognize their mood
change and negative thinking, they also understand
their style of thinking and its consequences
School-Based Interventions
Working with parents and doctors
Teachers need to meet the student’s parents
and doctors regularly. They should work
together on a plan to manage the irritability
and rages in school. They can talk about the
observations and how the interventions are
working.
School-Based Interventions
Reinforcement Strategies
It is important for teachers to acknowledge and
reinforce positive behavior whenever it occurs
in children with DMDD. This helps them build
self-esteem and recognize that their behaviors
have certain consequences when they are
acting well.
School-Based Interventions
Preventing Outbursts
 Teachers can be very effective in preventing
outbursts. One of the triggers of DMDD associated
outbursts is stress. Therefore, teachers can help
eliminate stress from the student’s environment.
This can be done by establishing a routine for the
student. It can also be done by modifying the time
permitted to complete assignments and tests,
therefore eliminating some of the stress caused by
them
School-Based Interventions
Permission to Leave the Room
Sometimes the student may feel that she/he
can’t handle staying in the classroom and needs
to get out of the room. A discreet signal should
also be planned so there is no disruption in the
classroom
School-Based Interventions
Empathy
Teachers should attempt to understand the
student using his strengths and weaknesses.

Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder

  • 1. Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder Anis Muhammad, Shehryar Bangash, Kinza Tehseen
  • 2. Diagnostic Criteria A. Severe recurrent temper outbursts manifested verbally and/or behaviorally that are grossly out of proportion in intensity or duration to the situation or provocation B. The temper outbursts are inconsistent with developmental level C. The temper outbursts occur, on average, three or more times per week D. The mood between temper outbursts is persistently irritable or angry most of the day, nearly every day, and is observable by others
  • 3. Diagnostic Criteria E. Criteria A-D have been present for 12 or more months F. Criteria A and D are present in at least two of three settings (i.e. at home, at school, with peers) and are severe in at least one of these G. The diagnosis should not be made for the first time before age 6 years or after age 18 years H. By history or observation, the age at onset of Criteria A-E is before 10 years
  • 4. Considerations  Children with DMDD eventually go on to develop depression or anxiety disorders  Controversial diagnosis  Sprung forth from children being over-diagnosed with BPD (Pediatric Bipolar Disorder), however, without meeting all the criteria for BPD and for lack of a better diagnosis
  • 5. Differentiating DMDD From BPD  Chronic and non-episodic irritability  Children and adolescents with Bipolar Disorder present with distinct periods of depressed mood and of mania or hypomania; patients with DMDD do not show well defined episodes  No manic, euphoric, or grandiose characteristics as in BPD  Unipolar towards depressive mood
  • 6.  “I brought my 10-year-old girl to your facility with very few hopes left. Since the age of 7 this beautiful child, my wonderful sweet little girl, had turned into something I could have never guessed. Assaulting our family, the neighbors, her teachers, her siblings, peers at school. At one time having received slight criticism from her teacher on her homework, she grabbed a pencil and stabbed her. At another time I had to call the police on her at our own home in order to restrain her because I just didn’t know what to do. For 3 years I didn’t have my daughter, I was living with a monster…”
  • 7. Functional Consequences of DMDD  Chronic, severe irritability, such as is seen in disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, is associated with marked disruption in a child's family and peer relationships, as well as in school performance.  Because of their extremely low frustration tolerance, such children generally have difficulty succeeding in school; they are often unable to participate in the activities typically enjoyed by healthy children; their family life is severely disrupted by their outbursts and irritability; and they have trouble initiating or sustaining friendships.
  • 8. Functional Consequences of DMDD  Often causes severe disruption in the lives of the affected individual and their families.  Dangerous behaviors, suicidal ideation or suicide attempts, severe aggression, and psychiatric hospitalization are common
  • 9. Symptoms in School Setting  Severe temper outbursts  Physical aggressiveness towards peers or teachers  Refusal to attend school  Refusal to take part in schedule assigned by teachers  Getting upset over slight interferences  Refusal to cooperate  Fighting verbally or physically  Alcohol or substance abuse  Swearing inappropriately
  • 10. Assessment of DMDD  Because DMDD is a new diagnosis, there are no available assessment tools to assist in diagnosing and assessing the disorder  Professionals are currently dependent on a process of ruling out other medical disorders (e.g. major depressive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, bipolar disorder)  Particular attention needs to be given the nature of the irritability as it is non-episodic, chronic, elevated, persistent, and frequent. It should not be confused with irritability that presents only during stressful circumstances or developmentally appropriate emotional responses
  • 11. Assessment of DMDD  Early Developmental and Home Background clinical and parent rated forms (EDHB)  Beck Depression Inventory for Youth (BDI-Y)  CBCL  Child Bipolar Questionnaire (CBQ)
  • 13. Prognosis  Although little is known about the course of DMDD, the chronic irritability and angry outbursts that characterize DMDD often last through early adolescence if left untreated  Participants with history of DMDD were more likely than their counterparts to come from impoverished families and single-parent homes Copeland WE; Shanahan L; Egger H; Angold A; Costello EJ (2014), "Adult diagnostic and functional outcomes of DSM-5 disruptive mood dysregulation disorder", American Journal of Psychiatry, 171 (6): 668–674
  • 14. Prognosis  Participants with a childhood DMDD diagnosis were more likely to develop depressive or anxiety disorders as adults; had higher rates of poor health outcomes such as STD transmission, illness and smoking; were more likely to engage in illegal or risky behaviors as well as be convicted of felony charges and were more likely to be impoverished  DMDD at the age of 6 years also predicted current and lifetime depressive disorder and ADHD at the age of 9 years Copeland WE; Shanahan L; Egger H; Angold A; Costello EJ (2014), "Adult diagnostic and functional outcomes of DSM-5 disruptive mood dysregulation disorder", American Journal of Psychiatry, 171 (6): 668–674
  • 15. Epidemiology  Primary studies have found a prevalence rate of 0.8% to 3.3%  Predominately male
  • 16. Etiology  Family problems such as divorce, moves, death in the family may contribute to the disorder  Psychological trauma or emotional, sexual, or physical abuse in early ages of development  Alcohol and drug abuse during pregnancy  Poor diet, vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition
  • 17. Etiology  Youth with DMDD have difficulty attending, processing, and responding to negative emotional stimuli and social experiences in their everyday lives  E.g. some studies have shown youths with DMDD to have problems interpreting the social cues and emotional expressions of others. These youths may be especially bad at judging others’ negative emotional displays, such as feelings of sadness, fearfulness, and anger  Functional MRI studies suggest that under-activity of the amygdala, the brain area that plays a role in the interpretation and expression of emotions is associated with these deficits Weis, Robert (2014). Introduction to abnormal child and adolescent psychology (2nd ed.). Los Angeles, CA: SAGE. p. 477.
  • 18. Etiology  Children with DMDD may also have difficulty regulating negative emotions once they are elicited. To study these problems with emotion regulation, researchers asked children with DMDD to play computer games that are rigged so that children will lose. While playing these games, children with DMDD report more agitation and negative emotional arousal than their typically- developing peers. Furthermore, youths with DMDD showed markedly greater activity in the medial frontal gyrus and anterior cingulate cortex, than comparison youths. Weis, Robert (2014). Introduction to abnormal child and adolescent psychology (2nd ed.). Los Angeles, CA: SAGE. p. 477.
  • 19. School-Based Interventions Recognize Mood Changes and Negative Thoughts  Parents and teachers can ask these kids to relate their mood shifts with physical sensation, thoughts, or memories. They can also record what happened before their mood change (e.g. arguments, music, poor sleep, missed meal). These responses usually include repetitive thinking. Sometimes young people don’t notice their negative thinking processes. Once they learn to recognize their mood change and negative thinking, they also understand their style of thinking and its consequences
  • 20. School-Based Interventions Working with parents and doctors Teachers need to meet the student’s parents and doctors regularly. They should work together on a plan to manage the irritability and rages in school. They can talk about the observations and how the interventions are working.
  • 21. School-Based Interventions Reinforcement Strategies It is important for teachers to acknowledge and reinforce positive behavior whenever it occurs in children with DMDD. This helps them build self-esteem and recognize that their behaviors have certain consequences when they are acting well.
  • 22. School-Based Interventions Preventing Outbursts  Teachers can be very effective in preventing outbursts. One of the triggers of DMDD associated outbursts is stress. Therefore, teachers can help eliminate stress from the student’s environment. This can be done by establishing a routine for the student. It can also be done by modifying the time permitted to complete assignments and tests, therefore eliminating some of the stress caused by them
  • 23. School-Based Interventions Permission to Leave the Room Sometimes the student may feel that she/he can’t handle staying in the classroom and needs to get out of the room. A discreet signal should also be planned so there is no disruption in the classroom
  • 24. School-Based Interventions Empathy Teachers should attempt to understand the student using his strengths and weaknesses.

Editor's Notes

  1. No symptoms of mania, not episodic, it’s persistent
  2. Irritability is a mood;
  3. Can’t really use differential reinforcement or punishment. Cause how do you punish an irritable mood.
