Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) is a complex childhood condition marked by severe and chronic irritability, anger, and frequent, intense temper outbursts that are disproportionate to the situation.

These outbursts significantly disrupt a child’s ability to function effectively in home, school, and social settings. DMDD usually begins before age ten and causes persistent irritability or anger between episodes.

At Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry, the treatment for DMDD includes a multi-faceted approach, integrating individual and family therapy with a strong emphasis on medication management. Given the nature and severity of symptoms by the time many patients seek treatment, the careful use of medications, including off-label treatments with substantial research backing, is often a primary treatment option. The clinic’s expertise extends to the Matthews Protocol, a specialized approach to treatment. This comprehensive strategy ensures a balanced and thorough treatment plan, tailored to the unique needs and challenges of each patient with DMDD.
