Note:Developmentally appropriate mood elevation, such as occurs in the context of a highly positive event or its anticipation, should not be considered as a symptom of mania or hypomania .
Note: This diagnosis cannot coexist with oppositional defiant disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, or bipolar disorder, though it can coexist with others, including major depressive disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, and substance use disorders. Individuals whose symptoms meet criteria for both disruptive mood dysregulation disorder and oppositional defiant disorder should only be given the diagnosis of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. If an individual has ever experienced a manic or hypomanic episode, the diagnosis of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder should not be assigned. AND

Treatment[edit | edit source]
Medication[edit | edit source]
- While mood stabilizing medication can be used to help treat disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, it has not proven to be effective on it's own.[3]
- Mood stabilizers, when combined with Amantadine, have an 85% success rate in children with disrputive mood dysregulation disorder.
Psychotherapy[edit | edit source]
- Contingency management, in which parents reward good behavior and punish negative behavior, has been proven useful in treating ADHD and ODD symptoms, which are found in many individuals who have disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, but is not effective in treating disruptive mood dysregulation disorder itself.[3]
