Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder is characterized by chronic irritability and severe temper outbursts and presents diagnostic and management challenges in pediatric practice. Symptom overlap with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety disorders, and pediatric bipolar disorder can complicate accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. In children with neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism spectrum disorder, irritability may reflect multiple contributing factors. This CME/CE activity reviews diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, and evidence-informed management approaches for disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. The activity is designed to support clinician knowledge and clinical reasoning related to assessment, diagnosis, and individualized care planning.
