Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder in adults can be a challenging problem that a person cannot cope with on their own, even if they do their best to identify and avoid triggering circumstances and objects or find solace in self-soothing techniques and practices they may have learned in therapy as a child. Red Rock Behavioral Health is ready to provide you with compassionate and comprehensive guidance and support to help you combat the manifestations of this condition.
Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder is a mental health condition that occurs in children and teenagers – it is defined by intense and frequent outbursts of anger, whether it is behavioral or verbal.
Only a mental health specialist can tell you whether you have disruptive mood dysregulation disorder or not – still, pay attention to the following symptoms to arrange a consultation with a therapist:
While patients may rely on a single therapy modality to manage their temper, it is advised to try various therapeutic approaches to see what resonates with a specific individual. Holistic approach and lifelong mindfulness-based interventions can make a big difference when properly utilized in a disruptive mood dysregulation disorder treatment plan.
Antidepressants will allow the patient to deal with random mood fluctuations, antipsychotics target aggression and irritability, and stimulants are a perfect choice when there is another mental health condition to address such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Family-based counseling is a valuable tool whether the patient is a child or an adult - when family members are involved in the process of treatment, they understand the intricacies of the disorder better and are able to adjust their own behavior for the sake of their vulnerable relative.
Even though this condition is chronic and management of the most severe manifestations of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder may take years, a patient can benefit from inpatient treatment that combines psychotherapy, medication, and certain lifestyle adjustments that are going to turn into lifelong habits. Within a few weeks of residential treatment, an individual diagnosed with this disorder can see a major improvement in their mental health, especially if the therapist utilizes cognitive and behavioral strategies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Early detection and appropriate treatment of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder increase the patient’s chances of lasting and profound recovery. If the symptoms persist for weeks and months, interfere with the individual’s academic and professional life, and strain their relationships with their loved ones, it makes sense to talk to a mental health professional to figure out how to deal with these intense and frequent temper outbursts. You must be particularly vigilant in case there are self-harm thoughts and suicidal ideations, and you feel like you are a danger to yourself or others.
Even though some scientists are divided when it comes to the disruptive mood dysregulation disorder causes, these days it is believed that the combination of factors leads to the development of this condition. Genetic factors and family history of various mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, abnormalities in brain chemistry and structure, early stress and traumatic events the person is forced to live through when they are very young, unstable household dynamics, and inadequate nutrition during childhood and adolescence can contribute to disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
