Mother, Father, and Teacher Agreement on Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder Symptoms in Children with Psychiatric Disorders
Author(s): Susan Dickerson Mayes, James D Waxmonsky, Daniel A Waschbusch, Richard E Mattison, Raman Baweja, Usman Hameed and Ehsan Syed
Objective: Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) was established as a new DSM-5 disorder despite little published research, and there are no studies investigating agreement between informants on the presence of DMDD symptoms. Methods: Mothers, fathers, and teachers rated DMDD symptoms (irritable-angry mood and temper outbursts) in 768 children with psychiatric disorders ages 6-16.
Results: Mother and father ratings were similar, but parent-teacher agreement was poor. Mothers and fathers identified a substantially higher percentage of children with DMDD symptoms (30% and 25%) than did teachers (12%).
