Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD)
Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) is a mood disorder seen in children and adolescents, characterized by severe temper outbursts that are out of proportion to the situation and a consistently irritable or angry mood. These symptoms often interfere with social relationships, school performance, and daily activities. At Diamond Link Psychiatric Services, we offer specialized care to help children and teens regulate their emotions and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
- Early and Accurate Diagnosis: Comprehensive evaluation to differentiate DMDD from other mood disorders like ADHD or depression.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Combination of therapeutic interventions and, when appropriate, medication management tailored to each child’s specific needs.
- Behavioral Interventions: Strategies to improve emotional regulation and reduce outbursts, often implemented through therapy and family-based approaches.
- Parental Support and Education: Guidance for parents on how to manage their child’s emotional outbursts and promote healthy coping skills.
At Diamond Link, we understand the unique challenges of treating DMDD in children and adolescents. Our compassionate, team-based approach provides not only effective treatment but also support for families. Through a combination of medication, therapy, and behavioral strategies, we help children learn to manage their emotions and improve their relationships and overall well-being.
