Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder

What is a disorder?

Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (TPD) is when someone experiences a number of symptoms that are not consistent with normal functioning. The key difference between the two terms ‘disorder’ and ‘disruptive’ is associated with the fact that the symptoms experienced are less serious than those experienced by TPD. In fact, TPD tends to be more severe than the disruptions witnessed in other disorders. This article will explore why understanding these distinctions is important for helping you to start seeing TPD as a real treatment option rather than simply another psychological illness or even a mental health problem.

What is a disorder?

Disruptive habits and behaviours such as eating disorders, stress disorders, smoking disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, abuse of alcohol, drug use, alcohol use disorder, suicide attempt, internet addiction, personality disorders, sexual orientation disorders, suicidal ideation and self-harm disorder all fall under the category of disorders in their own way. Let us begin by defining the term “disruptive attitude”. It is defined as a behaviour or a habit that has adverse effects on one’s well-being but that no longer serves the overall needs of one. For example, someone may want to smoke fewer cigarettes than they previously did, but have increased concern and worry about getting lung cancer because smoking is not healthy.

In addition to having a negative impact on one’s life, it is also noted that disruptive habits can cause distress, loss, emotional challenges or even a feeling of worthlessness. At times disruptive behavioural patterns are done so out of necessity or for long periods of time; for example, if there is some kind of emergency, people may seek help from strangers. Another example that comes to mind is a young woman who wants to lose weight but decides against it. Both disruptive and non-disruptive behaviours can affect one’s physical and emotional well-being. If either of them does not fit into the context and goals of your life then this may be a sign of something like stress, depression, anxiety disorders, gambling disorders, eating disorders or any other type of mental health problem you might experience. It is important to note here that despite some signs of problems or distress, not all disorders have a similar diagnosis.

What Causes Disruptive Behavior?

A simple explanation for what causes a disruptive lifestyle includes how disruptive behaviour can manifest itself. There are many factors to consider which include the individual’s personality traits and upbringing as well as stressors and past trauma. These factors play a big part in determining whether behavioural patterns become disruptive or not. People who learn how to manage their emotions and learn to control their impulses are not a person who will do anything different.

Disruptive behavioural patterns are often seen in children, adolescents, adults and sometimes older adults. Children, who grow up learning to make decisions through socialization may tend to have greater maturity to deal with stressors and develop a stable sense of autonomy which they can use when making choices. Adolescents and adults who come from families where the parent does not support them in handling situations also learn to avoid stressful situations. Adults who find themselves in relationships with adults who frequently use harsh tactics and punishment for hurting feelings learn to avoid disrupting behavioural patterns. Older adults as well can be impacted by disruptive behavioural patterns which can be exacerbated by personality traits and other stressors as well as past traumatic situations. Finally, it plays a role in determining what makes behavioural patterns disruptive. Some patterns may be disruptive while others may not. Regardless, there are several examples throughout history that illustrate the need for treating behavioural tendencies as a whole as opposed to just focusing on certain behaviours, the best approach is to take all disorders as a whole so the treatment can be most appropriate.

Treating TPD

Treated properly people who suffer from both non-disruptive and disruptive behaviours can feel comfortable enough to share their stories. They will tell the story of personal experiences with behaviours and behaviours that are not within the norm and may lead to further disturbance. Sharing these events with their therapists can make them realize their problem is not unique but just like everyone else. Treatment options for both the non-disruptive and the disruptive behaviours work out really well in terms of understanding each. Non-disruptive behaviours can be broken down into two types of problems, generalized and interpersonal issues like depression, anxiety disorders and substance abuse among others. Interpersonal TPD focuses specifically on distress or disheartening behaviours that are caused in intimate relationships such as infidelity, jealousy, jealousy or jealousy related mental illnesses and neglect in caregiving. Generalized TPD tends to focus on behaviour like smoking, eating disorders, anxiety disorders and drug use. Both of these types can be treated separately without the disruption being resolved.

Treatment options for non-disrupting behaviours focus most often on general advice. Treatment is usually based on the understanding of the specific behaviours which the patient identifies to help them see that change is possible. This treatment can be helpful to provide motivation and hope to those engaging in destructive behaviours so they can continue to see the results of changing them and continuing to change themselves. Understanding and accepting behavioural changes is a difficult task, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that this is what most treatment plans seek to accomplish. Other treatment options may require multiple sessions to get to the right level of understanding, however, there is evidence to support that patients who receive therapy at least twice a week are generally happier.

Interruptive behaviours can more easily be dealt with. Because TPD tends to be more severe when compared to other types of mental illnesses, there are more intervention possibilities. Many times interruptive behaviours cannot be resolved with medication, only with behavioural therapy the ability to manage and reduce the disruptions can be realized. A number of interventions can be used depending on the severity of the problem. Therapy helps treat behavioural problems like smoking, drinking, eating disorders, stress disorders, anxiety disorders, etc. Behavioural therapy involves behavioural therapy that focuses primarily on behavioural habits. Behavioural therapy is a highly structured form of treatment that works to correct behavioural problems as opposed to therapeutic psychology. Counsellors offer instruction, guidance and counselling, behavioral therapy is typically open-ended and may involve discussions that include emotional assistance as well. As discussed above, behavioural therapy can be used individually to treat behavioural problems and it can be combined with other types of therapy to enable a full recovery. Several groups provide evidence that group therapy is effective for improving emotional and behavioural health as well and has been shown to be effective for managing depression, anxiety disorders as well as stress disorders. However, evidence supporting the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy is scarce and small, especially for stress disorders. Furthermore, the use of cognitive-behavioural therapy in treating non-disruptive behavioural patterns such as stress, stress management as well as eating patterns is still unclear. Although recent research suggests that non-disruptive behaviours could be managed by behavioural and behavioural therapy, I would recommend behavioural therapy to resolve most disruptive behavioural patterns. An additional benefit of behavioural therapy is that it can contribute to both behavioural and mental health.

The most common intervention for disruptive behaviours is medications. Medications tend to alter brain chemistry. When this happens, we try to think about behavioural treatment differently. Instead of using drugs to affect hormones, medications act as inhibitors against neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit messages within the brain. Neurons are involved in learning, memory, cognition and movement. Hormones that affect neurochemistry play a big role in disrupting behavioural patterns and they affect the release of neurotransmitters that disrupt behaviours. Therefore medication can be an alternative treatment for disruptive behaviour. Medication has proven to act as a substitute treatment for behavioural disorders and is effective when provided regularly and for a year or so.

There is still a lot of research being conducted in the field of psychology and behavioural medicine, however, there is little evidence of their efficacy other than anxiety and stress disorders. Additionally, it is very rare to use medications or behavioural therapies concurrently; therefore behavioural treatments are most effective when the disorder has disappeared. Studies to date have shown that treatment for smoking and alcoholism disorders, stress disorders, binge eating and depression are effective when both are present. Treatments for both smoking and smoking cessation are equally effective when applied separately. Even though behavioural therapy seems to be the most effective treatment for smoking cessation, nicotine replacement therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness training programs are shown to be effective alternatives for smoking cessation and stress reduction. Mental health treatment has developed for smoking-related disorders, stress disorders, bipolar disorder, and panic disorders and although these disorders do not have a specific treatment smoking cessation and medication treatment are proven effective for smoking cessation, stress reduction and anxiety reduction.

What Causes Major Depressive Disorders?

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common psychiatric conditions among adults in the country. MDD is characterized by a combination of depressed mood and impaired thinking skills. Individuals experiencing depressive disorders have the tendency to do things they usually would not do, especially their daily routines which might be stressful and demanding. Depression is measured on a scale of 1-10. One 10 point rating scale is given for every day longer than one month. Diagnosis requires individuals to undergo a series of tests and procedures. Symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) include major distress, sleep disturbance and fatigue. Each of them affects the quality of their life.

Other potential factors which could combine to increase the risk of developing MDD include high blood pressure, smoking, stress, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol consumption, childhood depression or anxiety disorders, family history of depression (parent, sibling, friend), age, race, sex, sexual orientation and genetics. Individuals who carry the gene for a certain disorder appear to be at higher risk of developing MDD. The highest chance of getting diagnosed with major depressive disorder is after 50 years old with about.
