Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder is characterized by severe recurrent temper outbursts that are inconsistent with the child's developmental level and occur three or more times per week. These outbursts lead to significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning. In addition, there is a persistent negative mood between these outbursts. Thus, both temper outbursts and a persistent negative mood are indicative of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. Swings in mood from extreme highs to extreme lows are not characteristic of this disorder.
