Student paper down below:

The disorder that I have decided to discuss during my session is Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD). This diagnosis is used for adolescents between the ages of 6- 18 this was also known as pediatric bipolar disorder. Children are diagnosed primarily with DMDD who show persistent irritability and uncontrolled temper outburst that don’t meet conventional definitions of bipolar disorder. So in many cases children who are diagnosed with bipolar usually need to have a second opinion to make sure that it isn’t just a DMDD diagnosis instead. According to my research done on this disorder diagnosing a young child with bipolar disease is very difficult to do because there are so many similarities to Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). The problem with this is that when a child is diagnosed with ADHD they are often put on a stimulant which can cause a child with bipolar tendencies to trigger mania in the child.

There is a child named Sam Jones who is 10 years old and has been showing violent temper rages that consist and yelling and punching walls when things aren’t going his way and he can’t get what it is that he wants. He finds it to be a hassle to be bothered with anything else or other people that aren’t into the things he is and he is having a lot of issues with fights in school and disrespecting his teachers. His parents are chopping it up as hormones at rage and aren’t really concerned about their one and only son having a problem. He has his happy days and his angry days but things aren’t terrible in his parents eyes. Sam’s teachers have notified his parents claiming that they believe that he may have some type of mental disorder. They are asking that the parent’s get him tested for bipolar disorder. Sam’s parents take him to the doctor and after the first visit and the recommendation from his teachers the doctor decides that Sam could possibly be bipolar with the constant extremes in his emotions. He decides to put him on medication to see if this helps calm down the constant extremes in emotions. Sam’s pediatrician also has referred him to go talk with a psychiatrist as well. To figure out where all of this anger is coming from. As well as to find out if the psychiatrist feels the same way after a few sessions with Sam. Sam discloses no real reason for his actions just that he feels all kinds of ways all the time and he can’t figure out why. He doesn’t like to be teased and fights because of it and it all just makes him angry and causes his to disrupt class. So now that Sam’s psychiatrist has an idea of what Sam is going through she sees him more as having a disruptive mood than being bipolar and notifies the parents of Sam and his doctor that he has be diagnosed him with DMDD Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (Wedmd.com, (2017.).
